A photograph of a seated man in a rust-red sleeveless garment and dhoti with a leopard-print cloth at the waist, wearing a tall black turban with a crescent ornament, a red tilak on his forehead, layered rudraksha malas, a gold necklace and red-beaded armlets. He sits cross-legged on a cloth-covered platform in an open hall with red pillars. In front of him are a black stone mortar and pestle, a round stone grinding slab, small brass bowls, a woven basket of green herbs, and a silver-trimmed box. A small brass figure stands at the right edge. The scene suggests herbal preparation for an aushadha. The man is an appearance-based candidate for Swamiji (probable) given the turban, rudraksha malas and saffron-toned clothing, while the page indicates his presence at the event.
