A seated figure in red sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a floral-garlanded arched back of marigolds in yellow, orange and purple. He wears a red turban, a red shawl over bare shoulders, and a long gold necklace with beads, and his hands rest together in his lap. Tall brass oil lamps with lit flames stand on both sides of the throne, with a brass trident on the right and a garland-draped stage. Behind is a painted backdrop of rocky mountains in blue, gold and green. Jasmine-style flower strands hang along the throne's front, and an orange cloth covers the floor. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair under a red turban, a gold necklace and red shawl, with a throne and a trident-topped setting; the appearance is consistent with the page but the face is not used for identification. One person is visible.
