A standing man in an orange-saffron sleeveless wrap, with a red bindi on his forehead, eyes lowered and hands at his sides, in a hall with pale walls and red curtains. Behind him, rows of seated devotees wear white cloth headbands and white clothing, and a gold-coloured ornate decorative piece and hanging orange and blue tassels appear at the top of the frame. The figure is a sannyasi-style devotee, with appearance cues that do not clearly establish the page's claim, so the identity is unsure.
