A smiling man in a white embroidered sherwani with a sheer white shawl and a white turban decorated with a gold brooch and white plume stands before an ornate gold throne-style chair. His hands are raised in an open gesture. A red bindi marks his forehead and his long dark hair falls past his shoulders. Behind him a large painted backdrop shows a deity figure in red garments with gold jewellery, a peacock, snowy mountains, and a chariot with white horses. A metal hanging lamp is visible at left. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a jewelled white turban and ornate white clothing with a shawl, and is presented before a throne; the appearance is consistent with the page's claim but not conclusive, so this is marked as probable.
