The man on the right has long dark hair, a red-orange turban, a saffron robe over a red undershirt, and multiple gold beaded necklaces, and smiles broadly. The man on the left, shaved-headed with a red kumkum bindi and an orange robe with white and red garlands, looks down and smiles. In the foreground, a white sheer fabric edge is visible. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the man on the right, based on long hair, saffron robe and turban with gold necklaces.
