A man seated on an ornate gold throne decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red and magenta flowers and green leaves, with hands pressed together in namaste and eyes closed. He wears a cream-coloured turban, a white dhoti and a white shawl, multiple tiers of gold beaded necklaces, a large gold pendant, a gold armlet and a red bindi. Behind him is a red backdrop with partial printed Telugu-style lettering and a swirl motif, and a red velvet cushion rests on the throne base. Given the page's Swamiji flag and the appearance cues of distinctive turban, gold ornaments and ceremonial dress, this is a Swamiji (probable) seated in a formal welcome setting.
