Indoor hall with white chairs and red-cushioned seats, red curtains and a small stage at the back. A man in an orange-red garment with a wide gold border and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace stands at centre-right, smiling, with his hand raised touching the head of a young boy in a white shirt and maroon shawl who bows his head. Around them, men in white dhotis with gold borders and beaded necklaces, and a bystander in glasses at the left edge, watch. Probable Swamiji: the central figure has long swept-back hair, an orange-red and gold garment, a gold necklace and gold armlets, matching the page's claim, so this is a probable match by appearance. Attendants in white and gold-bordered cloth stand nearby.
