A seated man in long, swept-back dark hair and a saffron-orange sleeveless robe with a white jasmine garland threaded with red roses sits on a gold-carved throne-style chair against a red and gold backdrop. He smiles and extends his right hand to a man in a white and dark striped polo shirt and black trousers, who stands with palms pressed together in anjali. Beside them, a woman in a light blue and white dress with a white shawl stands with hands folded in prayer. A water bottle and small brass items sit on a wooden table in front. The seated figure has cues consistent with the page's Swamiji identification, including long swept-back hair and saffron robes, so the appearance-based candidate is labelled probable.
