A seated man with long dark hair tied back in a bun, wearing a tiger-striped yellow and black garment and a heavy necklace of large rudraksha beads, places one hand on the bald head of an older man who kneels before him. The kneeling man wears a white striped shirt and a red shawl, and his eyes are closed. The seated man holds a silver staff with small hanging bells in his other hand, raised above. Behind them hang red, yellow and purple ceremonial drapes and a saffron cloth. Another man is partly visible at the right edge. The seated figure has distinctive long hair, rudraksha malas and saffron-toned ornate dress, which matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji blessing a devotee.
