A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron turban and saffron shawl, wearing a white and pink flower garland, layered gold necklaces and gold bangles, smiling as he handles a gold-coloured ritual object or ring-like item with his hands. Around him, several saffron-robed men sit or stand closely, including a bearded man with a red tilak on the forehead and a bearded man in an orange robe at the right, while more orange-clad devotees fill the background. The setting appears to be a crowded, warmly lit indoor gathering. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, with a saffron turban, saffron shawl, garland and ornate gold jewellery, so the identification is a probable appearance-based match.
