A man stands on a raised red stage holding a silver trident in his raised right hand, his left hand on his hip. He wears rust-orange robes with gold border, a gold waist band, layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant, and a crown-like headpiece with a crescent shape, plus a tilak on his forehead. Behind him a large ornate gold arch frames a throne draped in gold cloth, with a jeweled deity murti and hanging brass bells above. Brass oil lamps stand at the sides and a golden kalasha-style pot sits in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the man has a rust-orange robe, gold necklaces and a crown-like headpiece, matching the page's Swamiji reference, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
