A man with long, swept-back black hair stands barefoot on a striped woven mat in a hall with a raised red-carpeted stage behind him. He wears a rust-orange wrap draped over one shoulder, a wide woven waist belt, multiple strands of wooden rudraksha beads across his chest, a gold necklace, a silver armband, a red thread on his wrist and a red-and-white tilak on his forehead. A small clay bowl sits on the stage. Other people in orange robes are seated in the background. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, orange clothing, rudraksha beads and gold necklace are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented as a figure in the mandala-process session.
