A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved arched back, flanked by two gold lion sculptures with red velvet cushions, in front of a red wall and bamboo-slat backdrop. He wears an orange-red turban with a small jewelled ornament, an orange-red robe with a yellow-gold border, and a long gold necklace of beads and a rudraksha-style mala. A gold staff with a serpent-like top rests at the right. Swamiji (probable): long dark hair is not visible, but the turban, saffron-orange robes and ceremonial gold necklace are consistent with the page's identification of Swamiji at this event. He is smiling and gazing to the left.
