Two men stand indoors in a plain room with white sofas and a grey wall. The man on the left, bare-chested with an orange-brown dhoti and shawl, wears a heavy gold necklace with large gold beads and smiles broadly, with white and red tilak marks on his forehead. The man on the right, wearing an orange cap, orange robe and orange shawl, bows with palms pressed together in namaste while holding a black ritual kalasha-like pot. Swamiji (probable) appears as the bare-chested man with the gold necklace, given the long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments and the page's reference to him.
