A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange-red garment with a white jasmine garland draped around his neck, a red tilak on his forehead and white ash marks. He gazes forward while a man in a light grey button-up shirt, seen from behind with his head partly visible, reaches toward him with his arms extended. A large pale circular backdrop glows behind them. Swamiji (probable) is identified by long swept-back hair, orange clothing and a garland; he is the central figure receiving the embrace.
