A seated man in a red-maroon garment and a bare upper body wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace and a bright orange-yellow forehead mark, with his long dark hair tied back. He smiles while resting his right hand on the head of a young boy in white kneeling before him. A dark brown snake is coiled around a silver staff beside him, and a golden lion-shaped throne armrest sits at his side. Behind them stands a silver ceremonial rod and green plants along a bamboo-screen background. The man's appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron-orange marking, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) blessing a young devotee.
