A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a multi-coloured flower garland sits on an orange-cushioned throne with dark carved wooden arms, smiling, hands resting on his lap. Long dark hair swept back. Around him stand several people in white clothes with yellow shawls, including a man in white with a yellow shawl bending forward with a folded paper, a bald man in white, women in white saris with yellow shawls and red bindis, and a woman in a pink sari with a yellow shawl and rudraksha-style beads. Two electric fans, a white pedestal with fruit on top, and beige curtains with a decorative border fill the hall. The figure's distinctive long hair, saffron robe and garland are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference, so this is an appearance-based probable identification.
