A seated man sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red velvet cushion and carved lion-like side panels. He wears a peach-coloured turban with a jewelled ornament, a red bindi, multiple strands of gold and beaded necklaces, gold armlets, and a peach shawl over an ornately patterned gold-and-cream garment. Three tall brass lamp stands with rooster finials flank the throne on a dark backdrop with a pale hand graphic at the lower right. Given the page's reference to Swamiji, the seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial cues (ornate turban, shawl, gold necklaces, throne), so the appearance-based label applies: Swamiji (probable), seated on the throne as the central figure.
