A smiling man with long dark hair, a beard, and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a blue-draped platform before a large colourful deity murti of a lion-mounted goddess with a golden mane and an ornate gilded costume. He wears a rust-orange robe, layered rudraksha malas, rudraksha bracelets and a gold necklace, and is garlanded with a thick multicoloured flower garland with red fruit. He holds two white ceremonial staffs. Marigold garlands drape the lion. The scene suggests a festival puja setting for Vijaya Dashami. A depiction of Swamiji is probable given the page's reference to the event, based on his rudraksha malas, saffron-orange robe and long hair.
