Outdoors at dusk under a cloudy sky, a man with long dark hair stands at the centre wearing a saffron-orange robe and shawl, a rudraksha mala and a thick garland of yellow and orange flowers. Around him, many devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls kneel and pour water from brass vessels over rows of black Shiva lingams set on stone bases, a lingam abhishekam in progress. A string of lights and a floodlight are visible at the right. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha beads and a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.
