Behind him stand two ornately decorated deity murtis adorned with silver-white jewelled necklaces, gold crowns and garlands of yellow and red flowers, set against a backdrop of red floral hangings. To the right, a person in orange-yellow clothing holds a ceremonial staff. Fruit. The seated figure is described as Swamiji (probable), based on the robe, turban and mala cues and the page's note that he attended this event.
