A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with leopard-print upholstery and silver lion-head armrests, smiling broadly. He wears a golden crown-like headpiece, a red vertical tilak on his forehead, a saffron-red robe, a gold chain, and a double garland of pink and white flowers. His right hand rests on the armrest and his left arm is bare. A leopard-print tasselled cloth hangs at the left edge beside a silver ceremonial staff. The background is a blue stage backdrop with elaborate gold carvings. Swamiji (probable): the saffron robe, golden crown, rudraksha-style adornments and ceremonial throne fit the presentation of the page's named teacher, a seated figure in a throne.
