Outdoor ritual scene on a rocky outcrop under a canopy. A seated figure in orange robes and an orange turban, draped with a large garland of yellow and red flowers and white jasmine, is being honoured. A man in a long dark-braided ponytail wears an orange shawl over white and holds a small vessel. A kneeling man in white with a gold bracelet bows his forehead to the seated figure's bare feet. Standing devotees in white clothing, one in a rudraksha mala, fold their hands in namaskar, while a crowd watches. Flower petals lie on the stone. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears an orange turban, orange robes and a floral garland, consistent with the page's description of a birthstar celebration.
