Outdoor photograph on a rocky riverbank beside water. A man with long dark hair tied back, a vertical tilak on his forehead, a red-orange shawl over a red sleeveless top sits in a wooden boat or raft. Two other men are partly visible in the foreground: a young person in a white garment with an orange cloth, and a man in a red and white plaid shirt with a moustache. Swamiji (probable) is the man in the centre, identified by long swept-back hair, orange-saffron shawl and ochre clothing cues with a sannyasi-style tilak.
