A photograph of a young man in a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange wrap, bare-shouldered, kneeling on a dais and clasping hands with an elderly man in white. The elderly man wears white-thin-rimmed glasses and a white shawl draped over white clothes, and his other hand rests on his chest. Behind them a standing man in a white shirt with glasses and another older man partly visible look on. A microphone stands at the left edge, with a green cloth-covered platform and white flowers at the lower left, in a plain hall with a barred window. The orange-clad figure has distinctive saffron turban and wrap cues, so the appearance-based candidate is Swamiji (probable), shown in person as a seated speaker greeting a guest.
