He wears an orange turban, an orange robe and a long white and maroon flower garland with a rudraksha mala, and he holds a small jar with a green lid. Around him, men in orange robes and a man in a dark jacket with an orange sash stand and sit, some holding small pink and yellow containers. A wall with a yellow panel and a framed picture is at the left, and the background is a plain white room. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a turban, ornate orange clothing and rudraksha mala, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji attending the Pattanam inauguration.
