A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-bead necklace and a sandalwood-marked forehead places his right hand on the forehead of a younger man in a white shirt and white trousers, who has an orange lanyard. The seated figure holds a sheet of paper and sits on an ornate gold throne with a peacock-feather fan at the left edge; a golden cobra-entwined staff rises beside them against red drapes. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair and saffron robes with ceremonial gold beads, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji. The scene resembles a blessing or initiation moment.
