Outdoors at dusk, a long-haired figure in a red robe and red garment sits on an ornate red-and-gold throne with gold trim, wearing a gold-beaded necklace and a white wrist cord. A man in a white dhoti and white shirt kneels on a tiled platform before the seated figure, bringing his hands together near the chest, with a white tilak on his forehead and a white garland at his neck. A brass oil lamp with a lit flame and yellow flower petals sit in the foreground. Behind them stand a crowd of devotees in white and some in yellow, and a decorated golden palanquin with colourful tassels and garlands stands at right against palm trees and a dusk sky. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and red robes on a throne, consistent with the page's reference to him.
