A photograph of a seated man in a red turban with a studded band and a red shawl, bare-chested with rudraksha beads and red garlands, smiling as he places a long orange-beaded garland on a younger man. Behind them, men in white kurtas and orange shawls stand, one wearing a rudraksha mala, and a second man in glasses watches. Another person's bare foot and orange beaded bracelet are visible at lower right. A pedestal fan and a wooden pillar appear at the left edge. The seated figure shows cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, including the red turban, rudraksha and ornate red garlands, so the appearance is labelled probable.
