A seated man on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest and tiger-skin cushion. He wears a rust-brown turban, a red bindi, a brown-and-gold draped garment, layered rudraksha beads, gold ceremonial necklaces and a gold pendant, with a thick garland of pink and red flowers across his chest and bare feet. He holds a silver staff with a bird-topped handle, and his arms are adorned with gold armlets and bangles. The turban, distinctive gold-and-rudraksha adornments and throne seating match the Swamiji (probable) cues on the page, so he is identified as Swamiji (probable), seated in a position of honour.
