A seated figure in saffron-orange robes plays a large wooden stringed instrument resembling a veena, its neck carved with a bird-head finial, resting across the lap on a white draped seat. Long dark hair falls to the shoulders, with a rudraksha mala visible at the chest. Behind is a warm orange-red backdrop with a white circular panel, and to the left a clay vase holds red and white flowers on a white-covered table. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and ornate instrument match the page's account of an event with the Supreme Pontiff, though the face is not visible enough to confirm.

A man seated on an ornate carved silver-and-wood throne plays a large Rudra Veena, a long-necked string instrument with two orange gourd resonators carved with leaf motifs. He has long dreadlocked hair with a crescent ornament and a rudraksha-style red bead band, a vertical white and red forehead mark, a short beard and eyes closed. He is bare-chested beneath a rust-orange wrap, wearing a gold pendant necklace, and sits before a dark red curtain on a stage. Appearance-based probable match to a person, playing the Rudra Veena during a sound initiation, with the instrument's screws and strings visible. Cushions and a silver pillar frame the scene.
