A photograph of an indoor living room scene. A man with grey hair and a grey beard, wearing a white collared shirt and a red-brown beaded necklace, faces away from the camera and raises his hand toward a seated man. The seated man has long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, and wears a red kurta with gold embroidered trim, sitting on an ornately carved wooden sofa with brocade cushions. A vase of flowers and a tapestry stand in the background, and an orange cloth lies on the sofa arm. Appearance cues are consistent with the page's Swamiji claim, with long hair, red ornate clothing and a bindi, so the seated man is labelled as a probable Swamiji.
