A seated man in a rust-orange turban and saffron-orange robe, with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas across his chest and wrists, and a gold earring, touches the forehead of a kneeling, grey-haired woman in a white top with an orange shawl and rudraksha mala. She sits with palms joined in namaskar. Behind the throne stands a white serpent-shaped armrest and a leopard-print cushion, with a wall unit and a seated woman in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate rudraksha malas, a turban and saffron clothing, consistent with the page's reference to a darshan session.
