A seated man in a rust-red robe and many rudraksha malas sits with palms pressed together in namaskar, eyes closed, a red-and-gold headwrap and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him a large gilded sun-shaped halo glows against a grey brick wall with green lighting and potted plants. Silver Nandi bull figure and tall brass trident-topped stands flank him. In the foreground a yellow-powder square kund with red dots frames a ritual fire pit, with stone mortars and pestles and a wicker basket nearby. Swamiji (probable): long hair swept into a bun, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial setting identify the central figure as a probable match for the page's named teacher, a sannyasi in ritual attire.
