A photograph of a seated man in a red-orange turban, orange-red robes with gold trim, and layered beaded and rudraksha necklaces, receiving a rolled white paper from a man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard who kneels on a striped woven mat. A small electric pedestal fan stands between them, and gold-framed chairs and a brass stand sit nearby. Behind them a backdrop screen shows an ornate golden throne scene with figures. A standing attendant in a rust-coloured robe with a large beaded necklace is partly visible at the left edge. The seated figure has distinctive long-hair-free appearance but wears a turban, ornate beads and saffron-toned robes, consistent with the page's Swamiji cues; the appearance is probable, so the label is Swamiji (probable) seated at the centre receiving the paper.
