A smiling bearded man in a reddish-brown turban with gold ornaments stands at night before dark foliage, holding a lit oil lamp in his right hand and a small silver bell in his left. He wears layered gold necklaces, a gold pendant, pink and white flower garlands draped over his shoulders, gold armbands and bangles. Purple and yellow flower garlands hang on a gold-coloured pillar at left. Two people in orange clothing stand partially visible at the right edge. The scene suggests an aarti. Swamiji (probable): the man wears a turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha-style adornment consistent with the page's identification, presented as a ceremonial figure leading the lamp offering.
