A seated man in a rust-orange turban with a jewelled ornament at the centre, wearing a rust-orange sash across a bare-shouldered torso, layered gold and beaded necklaces, a pearl-and-gold garland, gold arm bands and a leopard-print cloth at the waist. He sits before a dark backdrop framed by an ornate gold feathered arch, smiling and looking to one side, with a vibhuti or kumkum mark on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the distinctive saffron turban, layered rudraksha-style malas, gold necklaces and ceremonial arm ornaments are consistent with the page's identification, seated in a throne-like setting, as a presiding figure.
