A man in a flowing saffron-orange robe stands beside a tall copper pillar garlanded with yellow marigolds and red flowers, pulling a long orange cord that wraps around the pillar's top. A carved relief of a seated figure with raised hand is visible on the pillar base. Tall palm trees and a grey sky form the background. He wears a multi-strand beaded mala necklace and has long dark hair swept back. The appearance matches Swamiji (probable) with saffron robe, beaded mala and long hair, shown in person pulling the orange cord.
