A seated man with long swept-back dark hair, eyes closed, sits in meditation on an ornate gold-leaf throne sofa set against a richly carved gilded backdrop. He wears a sleeveless light blue garment with a matching blue shawl draped over one shoulder, multiple strands of rudraksha beads and white beaded necklaces, a rudraksha pendant, and beaded armbands. A red tilak mark sits on his forehead and his hands rest in a mudra on his lap. A microphone and a partly visible figure bowing at the lower right edge complete the scene. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial beaded adornments match the page's description of the Supreme Pontiff receiving honours on a throne.
