A man seated on an ornate silver throne with embossed scrollwork, wearing a maroon and orange jewelled turban with a red bindi, a dark rudraksha-style mala and a large pendant necklace over a reddish-brown shawl wrap, with a gold bracelet on his wrist. He smiles and holds a golden staff topped with a trident, while a gold cobra-shaped ornament stands at the right edge. Warm stage lighting and a purple backdrop frame him. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are the jewelled turban, mala and pendant with a saffron-maroon wrap on a throne, consistent with the page's claim that Swamiji is present.
