A bearded man with a dark rolled turban and a vertical tilak on his forehead sits before a large silver serpent hood with red and green gemstone eyes and jewelled crown-like tips, a deity-style cobra canopy. He wears rudraksha malas and a gold pendant necklace, with bare shoulders and a saffron-orange garment. Behind him are a wooden door and orange and yellow painted borders. The silver hood appears to be a decorative naga-style backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back dark hair under a turban, rudraksha malas and a gold ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, though identity is only probable.
