A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with carved floral and figural relief, raising his right hand in a blessing gesture while smiling. He wears an orange-saffron shawl with a gold border over a bare shoulder, a heavy gold necklace of large beads with a pendant, and a red kumkum mark on his forehead. His long dark hair falls past his shoulders. His left hand rests in his lap, and a small microphone stands on the armrest near the bottom right. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron shawl and ceremonial gold necklace on a gilded throne match the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a depiction of a seated person giving darshan at a discourse.
