A smiling man in a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala sits on a red cushion with a white tilak on his forehead and long swept-back hair, receiving a ritual offering from a woman in a maroon blouse and cream-and-pink sari with a pearl necklace. She bends forward holding a small white paper or card over a gold kalasha-style vessel. Behind them is a golden deity murti and a silver trident-like ornament, with a peacock-feather fan at left and red and gold draping. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a saffron robe and a multi-bead rudraksha mala, consistent with the page's claim.
