A seated group of men on a red-tiled veranda in front of a dark red wooden door with brass fittings. A bare-chested man in orange cloth sits on a wooden swing with brass chains, his back to the camera and turned toward the group. He has long swept-back dark hair and ornate gold necklaces visible, giving a distinctive cue consistent with the page's reference, so this is an appearance-based probable Swamiji in person. Around him, men in orange and white robes sit on the floor, several with white vibhuti on their foreheads. One man in white holds an open notebook. A potted plant with a small tree and green shrubs and palms surround the veranda, with a pair of flip-flops at the lower edge.
