A smiling man with long dark hair piled in a high topknot and a full dark beard sits on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushions. He wears a rust-brown robe draped over the shoulders, with a long gold chain and a long garland of white flowers with pink rosebuds and gold beads across his chest. A red vertical mark is on his forehead and a red thread is tied on his wrist. His hands rest together, and a gold-painted hand is visible at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a bare-chested rust robe with gold chain and ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's reference to this event.
