A bearded man with swept-back dark hair and white sacred ash markings with a red dot on his forehead sits on an ornate silver carved bench, wearing a rust-red shawl over a maroon top. He raises one hand in a gesture of teaching while speaking. Behind him stands a bronze dancing deity figure and a red wall with a stone pillar. A leopard-print cloth lies at the left edge and a dark-haired person's head is visible at the bottom. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, bearded face, sacred ash and red forehead mark, and the rust-red shawl on the teacher seated in the courtyard session match the page's Swamiji reference, but the identification rests on appearance alone.
