A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and a large gold back panel. He wears a light blue robe, a layered beaded necklace with a red pendant, and bangles, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. Behind him are a painted temple-style backdrop, hanging garlands of white and green flowers, and an orange cloth. On the left stands a brass oil lamp. Partially visible people in the foreground include a shaved-headed devotee at left and a woman with her hair tied back at right. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, blue saffron-type robe and beaded ornaments on the seated figure fit the page's description of the presiding teacher, but the identification rests on appearance cues alone.
