A photograph of a long-haired man in orange-saffron robes and a matching orange shawl, wearing a red-orange beaded mala necklace with large gold beads and gold bangles. He has a red bindi on his forehead and is extending his hand toward a crowd of devotees who stand with palms pressed together in anjali. Behind him a bald man in white with white tilak marks stands at the right edge. Several people in white and pastel shirts line the left side, and a dark curtain and gold object are visible in the background. The orange-robed man has long swept-back hair and saffron clothing consistent with the page's Swamiji cues, so this is a probable appearance-based identification.
