A seated figure in an orange saffron shawl and orange garment, with a long white and red-yellow flower garland and a rudraksha mala, places his hand on the head of a young boy in a blue sleeveless top who kneels before him on a golden seat. Beside them a woman in white with an orange shawl and red bindi watches solemnly, and a woman in a red shawl and floral dress stands at right. A black stone shrine carving with a deity figure and a red-and-white painted wall form the background. The seated figure's shaved-headed appearance and orange clothing are presented as a possible match for a person based on his distinctive saffron attire and garlands, though his hair and full adornment are not clearly visible.

A long-haired figure seated on a gold-and-cream throne wears a saffron-orange robe, a pink and white flower garland and a gold chain; the appearance cues are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference (long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklace), so this is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.
