A photograph of a seated man in saffron-orange robes wearing a long white flower garland with red-and-maroon flower strands, his long dark hair swept back. A boy in a white shirt and white trousers, seen from behind, reaches up with both hands to touch the seated man's shoulder and chest. Behind them hangs a large white draped backdrop with red curtains at the upper left. A small red-and-gold decorative item sits at the lower right. The seated man matches the page's Swamiji reference through his saffron clothing, flower garland and long swept-back hair, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable); the boy is a devotee receiving his touch.
