A photograph of a seated man with long swept-back dark hair wearing a red shawl, a saffron-orange garment and a long necklace of large golden beads with rudraksha malas, smiling and extending his hand toward a man in a white kurta with a red shawl who raises his palm in greeting. Behind them a woman in an orange sari adjusts flowers near gold and red drapery. The seated man's appearance with long hair, saffron garments and ornate beads matches the Swamiji (probable) cues, while the other man has a white forehead mark. Two physical people are visible.
