A seated figure in a red turban and red-and-saffron robes, wearing a long rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant, sits in an ornate gold throne shaped with a golden lion's head armrest. He extends his right hand in blessing toward a woman in a white sari with a red-and-gold border, who kneels with joined hands; a man behind her also bends forward. Behind them stand silver and gold ritual lamps and a silver deity murti with a crescent-topped arch and garlands. A microphone stands at the throne's side. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair under the turban, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, consistent with the page's attribution.
