A bearded man in a maroon-red turban with a gold leaf-and-crescent ornament stands smiling on a staircase-like platform with white mesh netting. He wears a maroon-red shawl over bare shoulders, a leopard-print lower garment, a heavy multi-strand gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and a red-and-yellow wrist thread. Behind him are rows of dark stone Shiva lingams on red-tiered steps, with red flags and a string of small lights along the railing. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a turban, gold necklace and distinctive saffron-red robes, cues consistent with the page's identification.
