A photograph of a man with long swept-back dark hair, a tilak on his forehead, a multicolour garland of pink, teal and yellow flowers, and heavy gold ceremonial necklaces over an orange-saffron robe, seated on a red upholstered chair. He smiles while placing his right hand on the head of a seated devotee in white, and holds a folded white paper in his left hand. Behind him are yellow and red flower garlands, a gold-painted pillar and a patterned blue backdrop. Two other people are partly visible in the foreground, one in white clothing. The distinctive long hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklaces match the page's Swamiji (probable) claim, so he is labelled Swamiji (probable) in this description, while the seated devotee is shown receiving blessing.
