A photograph of a man walking barefoot along a paved path in front of an orange-red brick wall. He has long swept-back dark hair, a rust-brown garment with gold-yellow stripes wrapped around his body, a rust-red shawl over his shoulders and a long strand of gold beads with a small pendant at his chest. Two young attendants in saffron and peach-orange robes follow behind him, both with hands pressed together in namaskar, one with a white forehead mark. A green lawn and grey gate post sit at the left edge. Swamiji (probable) is the walking figure, identified by his rust-red shawl, gold-beaded necklace and long hair.
