A smiling man with swept-back hair, a red bindi and vertical white tilak walks across a tiled floor in a dim hall. He wears a rust-brown unstitched robe with a gold-bordered dhoti and a cream-and-gold beaded waist belt, and a long red and white flower garland hangs to his knees with a red rose at its end. Behind him a table holds small metal figures and ritual objects under a red cloth, with people standing in the background and a silver stanchion with chain in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back hair, ornate gold-bordered saffron-toned dress and ceremonial garland are cues, and the page names him as present, so he is identified in this description by appearance only.
