A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange draped garment, with a gold necklace and bangles, extends a hand in blessing over the head of a kneeling man in a red-and-white striped shirt. Beside them a bald priest with yellow tilak on his forehead, rudraksha mala and orange-and-yellow dhoti sits attentively. Brass oil lamps, green leaves, and a tray of red apples and fruit sit in the foreground, with a gold deity murti and a standing attendant in white dhoti in the background. The scene resembles a blessing or padapuja within a ritual setting. The turbaned figure's appearance with saffron turban, ornate gold jewellery and orange garments is a probable Swamiji cue, consistent with the page's description of him at this event.
