A seated man in a rust-orange sleeveless kurta and matching dhoti with gold borders sits cross-legged on a striped cloth in the evening. He wears a leopard-print turban, long dreadlocks, yellow and red forehead markings, rudraksha bracelets and armbands, and a leopard-print cloth at the waist. His palms are pressed together in namaste. Stone mortars, a pestle and small stone bowls are arranged in front of him, and an ornate silver chair stands behind him. Plausibly a sannyasi or priest, though the page indicates Swamiji is present; the visible cues of dreadlocks, leopard-print turban, rudraksha adornments and ornate silver seat are consistent with that candidate, so this is a probable identification from appearance.
