A photograph of a VIP visit inside a red-walled hall beside an ornate gold throne. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-brown robe and a multicoloured flower garland, reaches out to touch a visitor. The visitor wears a brown vest over a pale green kurta, an orange shawl, and holds a small wooden plaque. A man in a white shirt and a second man in a dark jacket stand nearby, with a video camera on a tripod behind. The distinctive orange robe, long swept-back hair and ceremonial garland of the central figure match the page's reference to Swamiji, so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable), seated in the role of host greeting a guest of honour.
