A seated man in a rust-red dhoti and draped wrap sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne-chair with eyes closed, wearing a leopard-print headwrap with a white flower, a red tilak and long rudraksha malas with a silver pendant. Rudraksha bands are on his upper arms and wrists. A silver lamp stand and a small fire of burning cowdung cakes sit beside him, with an attendant woman and another robed figure in the background. Appearance-based probable Swamiji: long matted hair, rudraksha malas and a gold-and-rudraksha ensemble on a throne, consistent with the page's Pudamgaatal purification event.
