Outdoor night photograph of a smiling man in a deep red turban with gold ornaments and a gold crescent-and-jewel crown piece. He wears a red-orange cloth, layered gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, pink and white flower garlands, and gold armlets. In his right hand he holds a brass handbell, and in his left a lit oil lamp with two flames. Several other men in white headbands stand behind him in a dark, leafy setting, one with hands pressed together in prayer. Swamiji (probable): the man's long swept hair under the turban, saffron-red ornate clothing and gold necklaces match the page's description, so he is labelled as a probable in-person presence.
