A seated man in saffron-orange sleeveless robes and a long rudraksha mala draped over his chest smiles toward the left. He has long, swept-back dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead. A white and gold-bordered cloth is draped over the chair behind him. Behind him on a stone platform with carved stone panels, a brass bell, fruit on a tray, garlands of white flowers and yellow marigolds, and an orange cloth are arranged as puja offerings. Persons with a distinctive long-haired, saffron-robed, rudraksha-adorned appearance match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable Swamiji presence, seated in front of the offerings.
