A seated man in an orange-red robe and orange shawl sits cross-legged on a gold ornate throne with a leopard-print cushion, long braided hair falling past his shoulders, and a rudraksha-style necklace visible. Before him on a low gold stool is a silver bowl, and he holds a small object in his hands. Two women in white saris with gold borders and white head caps stand to the right, one handling items near steel vessels. Gold deity statues flank the throne, and striped mats cover the floor. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, an orange robe and shawl, and a ritual setting on an elaborate throne, consistent with the page's reference to him.
