A seated man in saffron-orange robes, wearing a leopard-print turban with a crescent ornament, rudraksha-style bead bracelets, and a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant, rests his hand on his chin beside a blazing fire pit. Silver ritual vessels, a small brass figure and a silver lion or makara-headed figure sit near the flames, while a silver ornate chair with a carved back and a dark green foliage backdrop complete the scene. Swamiji (probable): the saffron-orange clothing, gold necklaces and distinctive turban cues are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented as a seated ritual participant at a homa.
