A photograph at night of a smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead, wearing a loose saffron-orange robe draped over one shoulder. He stands in front of an ornate gilded wooden structure with carved floral and scroll panels, with a red cloth hanging behind. A bright lamp is mounted on the structure. At the lower right, a partly visible man in a white dhoti-style cloth and a white turban-like wrap stands near the bottom edge. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and tilak are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
