A seated man in a rust-red robe and gold ornate crown sits with palms pressed together in namaste on an ornate golden throne. Golden lion-head armrests flank him, and the seat is covered with leopard-print cushions. Brass hanging bells, a silver staff with a snake-like wrap, and dangling yellow cords hang beside him. A brass oil lamp and a copper vessel sit at the left. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a long swept-back hairstyle, gold crown and red-orange robe with a beaded necklace and red wrist bands, consistent with the page's subject.
