Two saffron-robed men stand in a room with a framed sepia photograph of white-clad figures on the wall behind them. The man on the left, in an orange turban and orange shawl with rimless glasses and a red tilak, holds a small book that the man on the right, wearing an orange turban, orange robes and long dark flowing hair, is reaching to receive. A third man in dark clothing stands at the right edge holding a steel tumbler and an orange towel. A glass-topped table holds stacked books, a folded white cloth with purple pattern, and steel tumblers, and a small illuminated figurine sits in a wall niche at left. The page identifies the man on the right as a person, but the appearance cues are only partly distinctive, so this is uncertain.

The man on the right wears a tall orange turban, long dark swept-back hair, a dark mala necklace and an orange wrap; he also holds the book and both are smiling as they look down at it. Behind them a large framed black-and-white photograph shows several robed men in white and light cloth. Books lie on a low glass table in the foreground. A saffron-clad person is partly visible at the right edge. The visible cues for the man on the right are long swept-back hair, an orange turban, a mala and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable).2010-01-28Photo inside a room with yellow-green walls and a framed black-and-white photograph on the left showing several men in white and brown robes walking together.
