A barefoot man in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, with a long beaded rudraksha-style mala around his neck, smiles and gestures with his hand near his chest in a sunlit courtyard. An older man in white shirt and trousers stands at right with hands folded in a greeting, and a man in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at left beside a silver car. Behind them, men in white dhotis and shirts stand near parked bicycles, a tree and a corrugated roof. Pink flower garlands are visible at the lower left edge. The robed figure's long swept-back hair and saffron clothing with mala are cues consistent with the page's reference to a swami, but the face and appearance are not certain enough to confirm identity.
