A smiling man with long dark hair, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and orange robes is seated beneath a white ceremonial umbrella with red and gold trim and a dark blue emblem. He wears a long garland of white flowers edged with orange and blue, and several rudraksha beads on a cord. A hand holds the umbrella's gold handle above his head, and another person in white clothing stands behind him. A partially visible framed portrait appears at the lower right. This shows a devotee-reception style scene. A candidate matching the page's Swamiji cue is present, but his appearance-based identification is uncertain, so the candidate is labelled as probable from appearance alone: Swamiji (probable) with rudraksha malas, long hair, orange robes and a flower garland.
