A close photograph of a smiling man with short dark hair, a red tilak on his forehead, and a bare shoulder wrapped in a dark shawl. He wears a thick garland of white jasmine, green leaves, yellow and red flowers, and a gold chain. Behind him is an ornate silver-patterned backdrop with a leopard-print cushion at left and a bright magenta light at right. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a bare-shouldered wrap, and ceremonial floral garlands, consistent with the page's description of the event.
