Inside a gold-trimmed temple doorway with carved pillars and a green-and-red painted column, a smiling man in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala stands with palms pressed together in greeting. He has a wreath-like headband and a white necklace. Several men in white shirts and dhotis stand around him; one bald man in an orange cloth stands behind, and one in white bows toward him. Hanging lamps and decorated temple interior are visible beyond. The robed man's distinctive saffron clothing, rudraksha beads and headband are consistent with the page's a person reference, though identity is uncertain from appearance.
