A photograph of an adult man with long, swept-back dark hair wearing a sleeveless saffron-orange top, standing in profile on the right and placing his right hand on the forehead of a young boy with short brown hair in a green-and-grey plaid hooded jacket. The man's left arm rests around the boy's shoulder. The background is a pale wall with a blurred blue and purple backdrop at the right edge. The man is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate: long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, with the page stating he was present at this event, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable), appearing in person and blessing the boy.
