A standing man in a red-maroon turban with a crescent emblem and a tilak on his forehead holds a silver staff in his raised left hand while his right hand is lifted palm-out. He wears a red-maroon top, heavy gold necklaces and a gold pendant, red beaded bracelets, and a leopard-print lower garment. Behind him is a large illuminated backdrop of a deity murti with multiple arms and ornate jewelry. Swamiji (probable): the turban, ornate gold necklaces and staff are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, though the face is not used for identification.
