A man in a black waistcoat over a white shirt kneels and bows his head toward the seated figure's bare feet with palms pressed together. Behind them, a shaven-headed man in orange robes and a gold-beaded necklace stands near a framed painted temple panel showing deities, and a gold-tipped trident stands at left. Cues on the seated figure (long swept-back hair, saffron robe, rudraksha-style mala, throne) are consistent with the page's a person candidate; appearance-based identification is probable only.
