A seated man in white ceremonial dress sits on an ornate gilded throne with red cushions, a white turban with a red tilak on his forehead, and a multi-strand rudraksha mala around his neck. He has his palms pressed together in greeting. A priest in orange robes stands at left, holding a silver aarti lamp with lit flames toward him. Oil lamps hang on the dark walls and painted deity figures with green and red garments flank the scene. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a turban, rudraksha mala and a gilded throne, cues that match the page's Swamiji attribution, so this is an appearance-based label only. The seated figure is a person, not a depiction, and the other person is the orange-robed priest performing aarti.
