A smiling man with long dark curly hair, a beard and moustache, and a red tilak on his forehead stands on a golden ornate stage. He wears a rust-red kurta with a gold-bordered wrap tied at the waist and rust-red dhoti-style trousers, a gold necklace, and gold earrings, and he holds a wooden staff in his right hand. Behind him hang strings of small lit lamps against a dark wall. A golden trident and a brass bell stand to the left, and gilded lion-headed carvings and a golden ornamental pedestal surround him. The appearance is consistent with the Swamiji (probable) description, with long curly hair, gold jewellery and a red-saffron garment, as a central figure on a golden dais, while the page indicates the event is a Basavanna Jayanthi satsang.
