Interior of an unfinished white-walled room decorated with a string of multicolored marigold-style flower garlands hanging across the ceiling. A man in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with a long white-and-red flower garland and gold ornamental necklace is smiling broadly, with a brass vessel or tray at left being held near him by another man in an orange shirt. A man in a light grey shirt and white dhoti stands smiling, and older men in white shirts and a woman in glasses are gathered at right. A woman in a white-and-pink sari with a dark necklace smiles at right, and a man in orange holds a camera. Arched doorways and green foliage are visible through the windows. Swamiji candidate appearance is probable: long swept-back hair, orange turban and robe, gold necklace and garland, consistent with the page's Swamiji presence claim for the central figure.
