A seated man sits cross-legged on a red cushioned throne with an ornate gold carved backrest, decorated with garlands of yellow marigolds, red roses, purple flowers and green leaves. He wears a multicoloured pink, orange and green turban with a red bindi, an orange silk robe with gold border, and a long gold-beaded rudraksha-style necklace. He smiles and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture while his left hand rests open on his knee. A large orange banner behind him carries Kannada-script lettering. Swamiji (probable): the orange robe, turban, long hair and gold necklace are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
