A man seated on an ornate silver-framed red velvet throne in a hall, wearing a rust-orange draped robe with a rudraksha bead cord across his chest and waist, a gold necklace with a pendant, and white-and-red sacred markings on his forehead. He holds a gold trident-topped staff in one hand and rests his other arm on the armrest. A tall silver pole stands at the right edge. Several seated devotees in orange and white clothing sit blurred behind him, and a copper vessel rests on the left side of the throne. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads and gold ceremonial ornaments consistent with the page's description of the Supreme Pontiff at a mandala process session.
