A man in a rust-orange sannyasi wrap and matching dhoti sits cross-legged on a golden Nandi bull statue draped with a tiger skin, on a stage decorated with a deity murti. Behind him stands a tall statue of a deity with four arms, a crown and heavy gold necklaces, while a smaller figure stands at its side. He wears a large gold pendant on a beaded mala and a red tilak on his forehead; long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Brass trishul and tall brass lamp stands flank him, potted green plants surround the seat, and red velvet drapes and carved golden pillars frame the scene. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and a gold pendant, consistent with the page's identification, and is seated on a throne-like dais. A bright yellow-green backdrop glows at the right edge.
