A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an orange cushion placed on a low wooden platform, outdoors on bare earth with scattered grass. He wears a long dark rudraksha mala, has a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair swept back, with his eyes lowered and hands resting near a small brass kalasha vessel. Behind him a white structure is decorated with scattered red flower petals and a garland. A person in white dhoti stands in the background and another in white kneels at left. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robes, long swept-back hair and rudraksha mala match the page's Swamiji-at-event note, a candidate presented in person.
