A seated man in a maroon-red robe sits cross-legged on a silver ornate throne beside an open fire at lower left. He wears a leopard-print headband, a gold chain, multiple rudraksha malas across his chest and on both upper arms and wrists, and a silver pendant. He holds a silver staff, and a silver bowl sits on a silver stand near the fire. A microphone boom extends toward him. Behind is a red building and a stone-paved courtyard. A woman in teal clothing is partly visible at the far left edge beside the fire. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate silver throne are present, consistent with the page's Swamiji attribution, and he is seated in the centre of the ritual scene.
