A photograph of two men smiling at each other in an indoor hall with a red curtain behind them. The man on the left sits on a raised seat with long dark hair, a rudraksha necklace of white beads, an orange-brown cloth draped over his shoulder and a patterned leopard-print wrap at the waist, holding a small object in his hands. Probable Swamiji: long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and orange-saffron clothing. The man on the right leans in, wearing a white shirt and an orange lanyard. In the foreground are open orange trays holding packets of sweets and fruit, with the back of a seated person's head at the bottom edge. Two white pedestal air coolers stand behind them, and another person is visible through a window in the background.

A long-haired figure seated on a wooden throne wears an orange-brown wrap and a long necklace of beads and white ornaments; the figure extends a hand toward two men standing to the right. Both men wear white kurta-style clothes with orange and rudraksha-style malas; the man in the centre has his palms pressed together in greeting, and the man on the right holds his hands in anjali and wears a wristwatch. Behind them are a white floor fan, a maroon curtain, and a small open box with offerings. Partly visible at the bottom is the back of another person's head. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the visible cues are limited, so identity is uncertain.2013-05-18May 27 20132013-05-27May 14 20132013-05-14May 15 20132013-05-15May 18 20132013-05-18A seated man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-orange wrap, a leopard-print cloth at the waist and a long beaded rudraksha-style mala across his chest, smiles with eyes closed and arms extended toward a man in a white kurta and white dhoti standing at right, who raises one hand in an open gesture.
