A person in an orange saffron garment with a long rudraksha mala draped over the shoulder bows low, forehead pressed to a grey stone step, one hand extended flat on the stone. The person has long dark hair swept back and a white mark on the forehead. The stone step has carved relief detailing along its edge, and a red wall is visible behind. This appears to be a pada puja, a devotional gesture of touching the feet or step of a sacred place. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the appearance cues, and the page names him at this event, but the face is not clearly visible.
