A smiling man seated on a red-cushioned throne-like chair, wearing an orange turban and orange saffron robe with gold trim, a red bindi on his forehead, and multiple rudraksha malas around his neck and arms. Beside him is a brass oil lamp and a small tablet device, with flowers in yellow and red on the throne's upper edge. Behind him is a large portrait of a figure with long dark hair and a red garment, and dark drapes frame the left side. Swamiji (probable): the seated saffron-robed man wears a turban and multiple rudraksha malas, cues consistent with the page's attribution, though the appearance is only partially distinctive.
