A barefoot man in a rust-orange robe walks along a blue-edged path under a multicoloured fringed parasol with red, green, yellow and white tassels. He wears a white garland of flowers with a bunch of orange and pink blooms at his waist, a rudraksha mala across his chest, and a white forehead mark; his eyes are closed. Behind him, a drummer in an orange dhoti and bare chest plays a large drum, and two men in white dhotis with gold borders follow, one holding a small object. Trees and dry earth form the setting. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a full beard, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
