A smiling man in a rust-red turban with gold braided trim and a red-orange shawl sits before a gold ornate backdrop and deep red drapes. He wears a wooden rudraksha mala with a gold necklace, a small gold hoop earring, a dark bindi and white markings on his forehead, and his bare shoulder is visible. He reaches forward with his right hand to rest it on the head of a person with dark hair in the lower left foreground. Swamiji (probable): the cues are the turban, rudraksha mala and red-orange ceremonial clothing, and the page names him as present at this event.
