A photograph inside a room with pink walls and a framed portrait of a woman in gold jewellery hanging high on the wall. A bare-headed man in a white shirt on the left holds his palm up toward a bald man in orange and saffron robes who bows his head. On the right, a smiling man in a red-orange turban decorated with rudraksha beads wears a red-orange garment, multiple rudraksha mala necklaces and rudraksha bracelets, and extends his arm toward the bowing figure. Behind them, a man in a purple striped shirt and others stand, and flower garlands and flowers are visible at lower right. The smiling man in the turban and rudraksha cues is a probable match to the page's Swamiji reference.
