A standing man with long dark wavy hair and a small red bindi stands under a leafy canopy with palms pressed together at chest height. He wears a red-orange upper cloth draped over one shoulder, a white dhoti with gold border, a red dhoti-style lower wrap with gold edging, gold armlets and bangles, and a long mala of rudraksha-style beads with ornate gold-toned spacers. A bamboo pole with a gold base stands beside him, a gold-toned vessel is partly visible at the left edge, and a yellow-clad figure appears at the lower left. Behind him are greenery and a red pillar. The figure's appearance with long hair, saffron-toned clothing, mala and gold adornments is consistent with the page's reference, so the figure is a probable Swamiji in person.
