A photograph of a seated man in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead, sitting on an ornate red and black tiger-striped throne with an elaborately gilded backrest. A man in a white kurta and white trousers stands at left, holding the seated man's hand and leaning in close. Flowers in yellow, red and green are visible at the upper left. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron robes, a cue consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
