A seated man in a black turban with a crescent moon ornament sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests. He wears layered gold necklaces, rudraksha malas, gold armbands with red beaded bands, and a gold and red waist garment. A white tilak marks his forehead and he smiles broadly. Behind him, a large golden painted figure of a goddess plays a veena, with a golden bowl on a stand at left and glowing golden vine-like backdrop foliage. The scene is warm golden in tone. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears a turban, rudraksha malas, layered gold ceremonial jewellery and a gold waist garment, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
