A smiling man with long, dark, swept-back hair and a small red tilak on his forehead sits on a white cloth draped over a grey stone platform. He wears an orange-saffron garment over bare shoulders, with rudraksha-style beaded strands hanging at his chest, and holds a silver-handled cane. Behind him stand brass kalashas and a brass bell on a stone ledge with carved stone panels, and a seated figure in red and gold robes is partly visible at the top. The seated man is described as Swamiji (probable) on the basis of his long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, with the page noting Swamiji attended this darshan for padayatris; the image itself carries no legible name for him.
