A photograph inside a thatched palm-roofed shelter. A man with long dark hair, a red-orange sleeveless robe and white forehead markings stands at the centre, holding a rolled paper, while several men in white shirts with their backs to the camera gather around him. On the right, a framed portrait of a smiling man in orange robes with a flower garland hangs on the palm-leaf wall, and a stainless steel table holds brass lamps, dishes and small offerings. The swamiji candidate's appearance is consistent with the page's cues: long swept-back hair, orange robe and white markings, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), standing in the shelter with attendees. Text in the portrait caption is not clearly legible.
