A seated man in orange-saffron robes and a matching orange turban sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved lion-head armrest and a red tiger-striped cushion. He wears a long multi-strand gold-toned mala of beads, a yellow sash over one shoulder, a red bindi on his forehead, and a purple bead bracelet on his wrist, his hands resting clasped in his lap with eyes softly closed. Behind him is a gilded carved backdrop and deep red velvet drapes, with a tiger-striped throne cover beneath. Swamiji (probable): this seated figure has a long rudraksha-style mala, saffron robes and a turban, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, though his appearance is not certain enough to confirm identity.
