He holds a brass oil lamp with a lit flame in one hand and a silver handbell in the other, with a white vertical mark on his forehead. A woman with folded hands watches from a balcony at the upper right. The setting is a pink plastered wall. Swamiji (probable): the man wears long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial gold necklace, with the page noting his presence at this event.
