A figure with long dark hair in a saffron-orange robe and shawl sits on a red-cushioned golden throne on a stage. Behind him a backdrop painted with a crescent moon, a trident-like emblem, a damaru drum, an Om symbol, a dove and a sword is decorated with garlands in yellow, red and white flowers. Two ornate golden oil lamp stands flank the throne, with lit wick lamps on pillars at either side, and green stage lighting falls over the scene. The seated figure is wearing a saffron robe and shawl and long hair swept back, cues consistent with the page's description of Swamiji; the identification is probable. No other people are visible.
