A figure stands on a raised stage in dim blue light with smoke drifting around him, holding a silver trident in his right hand and resting his left hand on his hip. He wears a dark maroon-red garment wrapped around the body, a long layered garland of orange and white flowers, and beaded necklaces. Behind him is a painted backdrop of a seated multi-armed deity murti with a tall crown, a crescent moon, and a tiger-skin seat, surrounded by forest trees and seated sages. Green foliage and potted plants sit at the right edge of the stage. A railing runs along the front. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back dark hair and a trident and maroon garment consistent with the page's account of a Kena Upanishad session.
