A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a fresh flower garland and a beaded mala, holds a tall silver staff with a lotus-topped finial in a yellow-walled room. Two young saffron-clad attendants sit near him. Before him, an older man in white kneels and bows, and a woman in an orange-and-brown patterned sari sits beside him with hands folded. Standing behind them are a man in a grey shirt, a man in white with an orange shawl and red garland, a woman in an orange sari, other women in saris and a man in a checked shirt. A framed portrait with flowers is visible in the background. The seated figure's face and bearing show an appearance consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the cues are limited, so the identity is left unsure.
