A seated figure in a maroon turban and maroon-and-gold draped cloth, wearing a white and orange flower garland and a brown rudraksha-style mala with a wrist band, raises a palm in blessing toward a kneeling man in a green-and-white checked shirt with an orange thread across his chest, who holds out cupped hands. Behind them are potted green plants, and a brass plate with bananas and gold-toned vessels lies in the foreground. A woman in white with a brown shawl stands at the upper right. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues of turban, flower garland and rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji. The scene resembles a blessing or pada pooja exchange.
