The central figure sits in the middle throne wearing long dark hair, orange-saffron robes and a gold necklace, with a small lion statue at the base of his throne. The figure on the right wears an orange-saffron robe and a white headband with a bare shaved head, seated on a gold throne. The figure on the left wears an orange robe on a gold throne. A man in orange dress stands at the far right edge near a pink flower plant. Because the page is attributed to Swamiji and the central figure has long hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace cues, he is a probable Swamiji seated centrally.2013-02-04 +1 copiesTwo seated figures on a raised dais in a hall decorated like a temple. The central figure sits on a large red velvet throne with gold lion armrests, wearing an orange-saffron garment, a gold necklace, and a red bindi, with hands resting in his lap.
