A dense crowd of men in white shirts and dhotis presses toward a seated figure in a red-orange turban and saffron robe, garlanded with a red and white flower mala, inside a yellow-walled temple hall. Several saffron-clad priests stand and attend nearby, one holding a small object aloft; a shaved-headed attendant sits beside him. Behind them a gold-framed shrine with orange-lit interior and a white pillar stand, and a further priest in orange stands at right near a stand with white cloth. Thick hands and heads fill the foreground, one man pointing toward the seated figure. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person but the identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
