A single seated man sits cross-legged on a fluffy cream cushion before an ornate golden arched throne with red velvet cushions. He wears an orange-red sleeveless kurta, a saffron-yellow shawl draped over his shoulder and lap, a long strand of beaded mala or garland around his neck, and a beaded bracelet on his wrist. He holds a long silver-tipped staff in one hand. A water bottle sits on a table to the right. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace, saffron clothing and crowned throne are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, so the image is treated as showing him in person.
