A photograph of a long-haired man in an orange sleeveless garment seated on a green and gold brocade cloth before a yellow banner with blue, pink and purple Kannada text. He wears a large garland of orange and white flowers with green leaves and smiles while a man in white dhoti and white shirt with striped border clasps hands with another person at the right edge. A small object is held in his hands. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, orange clothing and floral garland match the page's Swamiji visit, though the appearance is only a candidate cue. A second person in dark trousers stands behind him.
