Brass lamps flank the altar, decorated with pink flower garlands and silver vessels, with a golden arched shrine behind. Rose petals lie on the floor at the foot of the ornate altar. A brass lamp stands in the foreground on the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and orange robes, cues consistent with the page's attribution, so the identification is an appearance-based candidate.
