Album pages show people in orange and saffron garments, including a figure in an orange turban with ornate adornments, and a close-up of a face with a red-and-white forehead mark. Other prints show a seated figure in orange on a grassy hillside, a group of seated devotees outdoors, and a red-and-gold ornamental object.
