A smiling man in an orange saffron turban and orange sleeveless sadhu garment sits with palms pressed together in namaste, wearing a white and red marigold garland and a red tilak on his forehead. Behind him a colourful striped cloth covers the ground, and blurred figures in white clothing sit at the edge of the frame. Given the page's Gurupoornima context and the saffron turban and garland, this appears to be a person in person greeting devotees, though the face is partly turned and the appearance is not certain.
