A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a large golden repoussé backrest, dressed in saffron-orange robes with a gold border, wearing a heavy gold bead necklace with a gold pendant, a rudraksha mala and a pearl strand, a rudraksha armband, and a red bindi. His right hand is raised in a teaching gesture while his left hand rests on his lap, and he appears to be speaking. Red velvet cushions surround the seat. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated as a teacher on a throne, matching the page's claim of his presence at the event.
