The figure raises one arm outward, palm open, while an elderly white-haired man in a white shirt leans in from the right and touches the seated figure's hand. Behind them an oil lamp burns on a brass stand, and a garland of red, yellow and white flowers hangs over a teal and pink cloth at the top left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, a red bindi, gold bead necklace and white ritual cloth on a throne, matching the page's description of the satsang.
