A man stands in front of an ornate shrine decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands and a jewelled kalasha. He wears a long dark-maroon robe with a long white jasmine garland threaded with red and yellow flowers draped from his shoulders, and a white vertical tilak on his forehead. His eyes are lowered and his right hand is extended palm-up toward the shrine. Behind him is a painted pedestal with red floral motifs and gold lion-like figures, and a deity murti is partly visible at the top left. Swamiji (probable) — the figure has long swept-back dark hair, a flowing saffron-maroon robe and ceremonial garlands, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
