A photograph of a man in an orange saffron turban with a gold border, wearing an orange shawl and a multicoloured garland of white and red-green flowers, smiling with his head turned to the side. Behind him a young girl in a beige top with folded hands and beaded bracelets watches, and a man in white and a man in orange robes stand nearby, one holding a comb or small object up near his head. A forehead tilak mark is visible. Swamiji (probable): the man in the turban has long swept-back dark hair, a saffron turban, saffron clothing and a flower garland, which are several distinctive ceremonial cues, so the appearance is consistent with the page's claim that Swamiji is present. Setting is a plain white wall.
