In the foreground, a man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi and a rudraksha mala, wearing a sleeveless saffron/orange cloth, sits cross-legged on an orange cushion with hands folded and eyes closed. Behind him, a man in a white kurta with a yellow shawl sits with hands clasped, and a man in orange robes sits with head bowed. Other seated men in white and orange are partly visible further back. A brass kettle-shaped vessel stands in the lower left, with a brass plate near the group. The seated man in the foreground has distinctive long hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable).
