A figure in a long orange wrap-around robe stands barefoot on a rock beside a large banyan tree, holding a silver-coloured walking staff in his right hand. He has long dark hair swept back and looks upward into the branches. On the sandy ground at the base of the tree sit brass pots and kalasha vessels, a blue bucket, and a cloth with bright colours. Red earth and a wooden fence appear in the background, and a red-and-white cloth hangs on the trunk. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ceremonial setting align with the page's guru-puja caption, and the figure is physically present.
