A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold and red throne, wearing a white and red floral garland and a long rudraksha mala. A gold trident stands at left and gold throne lions flank the seat. Before the throne, a saffron-robed man bends forward over an offering table laden with fruit, flowers and a bowl, while two women in orange and maroon saris sit at the right and a saffron-robed attendant sits at left. Flower arrangements and white lamps decorate the stage with a painted rock-and-foliage backdrop. The central figure has long hair, distinctive rudraksha and gold adornments, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so the identification is probable.
