A seated man with long dark swept-back hair, a red bindi, a gold ceremonial necklace and a white garment with a gold-bordered shawl sits on a gold throne before a backdrop of yellow and red flower garlands. He smiles while receiving a small glass award from a standing man in a white kurta and white dhoti, with a rudraksha mala around his neck. A silver oil lamp with a rooster-topped stand is at right. The seated man matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, gold ceremonial necklace, white and gold clothing), so the appearance-based label is Swamiji (probable).
