A man stands on an ornate golden stage in front of a gilded arch and throne-like backdrop with sculpted panels and a tiger-skin cloth. He wears a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl draped over one shoulder, a heavy beaded necklace with a gold ceremonial pendant, and a rudraksha-style mala, and holds a tall copper trident upright in one hand while his other hand rests on his hip. A brass oil lamp stands at his left, and a decorative golden figure of an animal sits at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklaces, and is presented as the central figure on the stage, consistent with the page's event listing.
