A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with a long rudraksha-style mala and ornate gold necklace, sits on a gold throne-seat at right, flanked by tall brass oil lamps with flames. Beside them, a large gold peacock-shaped ratha/palanquin carries a deity murti decorated with garlands of red, yellow and purple flowers and a green cloth backdrop. Behind, a large banner shows a smiling figure in an orange turban with a red bindi, and a purple curtain hangs at the back of the hall. The figure at right has distinctive long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha beads and gold ornaments, consistent with the page's Swamiji candidate; appearance-based identification is probable only.
