A photograph of a single man seated cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-motif panels, on a tiger-striped rug, set on a red carpet bordered by pink flowers. He wears orange saffron robes with a leopard-print shawl and waist cloth, layered rudraksha malas, a gold chain and gold earrings, bangles and a red bindi with white tilak. Behind him are carved wooden balconies and reddish brick walls with a fountain pool of stones. The man has long swept-back dark hair and a broad smile; his appearance with distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ornate gold adornment matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification.
