A smiling man walks barefoot across a polished tiled floor in a pale pink hall, beside a metal handrail. He wears an orange-saffron robe draped over one shoulder with a gold border, and a long dark rudraksha mala hangs to his chest. A red bindi marks his forehead. His hand rests at his waist while the other hangs at his side.

A man in a flowing saffron-orange garment stands before an orange-upholstered throne-style chair against a deep red velvet curtain. He smiles with eyes lowered, palms raised and open at shoulder height, and a small red mark is visible on his forehead. A white pedestal stands at the left edge. The sleeveless orange robe is draped over one shoulder, and the chair has round orange bolster cushions. The page does not place a person at this event, so the identity of the figure is uncertain.
