A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing orange saffron robes and a thick white and red flower garland. He holds a silver ceremonial sword in his right hand and a gold staff with a finial in his left. Behind him the throne is framed by marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red and orange, with colourful striped and patterned hangings on either side and gold lion-style armrest figures at the base. He has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a garland, matching the appearance cues for Swamiji (probable) seated in a ceremonial role. The page notes this event, so the appearance is probable rather than certain.
