A barefoot man with long dark wavy hair stands on a paved stone platform before a large banyan tree with aerial roots. He wears an orange unstitched garment with a blue and gold-bordered waist sash and gold-bordered blue drape at the hips, a red bindi on his forehead, layered gold beaded necklaces and matching bangles and armlets. His palms are pressed together at chest level in anjali mudra with eyes closed, a gesture of greeting or reverence. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, orange ceremonial clothing and ornate gold adornments are visible, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
