A man kneels waist-deep in clear water, cupping both hands to scoop and pour water, his head bowed in a ritual gesture. He wears a dark maroon-red robe, multiple strands of rudraksha malas across his chest and arms, and a white and red forehead marking with a red dot. Behind him, a figure in white and gold-bordered dhoti stands in the water with hands on his head, and a blurred orange-clad figure is at left. The setting appears to be a river or sacred water body. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back dark hair, rudraksha malas and a red-toned sannyasi robe, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
