A smiling man stands beside a white carved wooden chair in front of a red draped curtain and a gold-painted pillar. He wears a red-and-gold turban with a red feather and a gold jewelled ornament, an orange silk kurta, a long rudraksha mala, a gold ceremonial necklace with a deity pendant, and gold earrings. A red tilak marks his forehead, and his left hand rests on the chair's armrest. Swamiji (probable): the man has distinctive ceremonial adornments including the turban with feather, rudraksha mala and gold necklace, and the page identifies this event as involving Swamiji. The image is a photograph of a single person, a teacher-like figure seated near a dais.
