A smiling man with long, dark, wavy hair and a small red tilak on his forehead wears an orange saffron shawl wrapped over his shoulders. He holds a steel cup in one hand at the bottom of the frame. Behind him is a maroon wall with white folk-style painted figures of a tree, dancing people and a decorative border, and a carved brass pillar stands at the left edge. The photograph is a close-up portrait with a person's appearance matching the page's Swamiji reference, with long swept-back hair and orange robes; the appearance is a probable match for the Swamiji (probable) as a seated devotee-style figure drinking from a cup at a gathering.
