A seated man in a saffron-orange shawl and matching robes sits on an ornate gold throne with a red tiger-striped cushion and a tiger-skin rug in the foreground. He wears long gold beaded necklaces, a small gold earring, white horizontal forehead markings with a red dot, and his dark hair is pulled back. He smiles and gazes to the side, one hand resting on the necklace. The throne has repoussé gold carving and a painted seascape backdrop is visible behind him. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, a gold ceremonial necklace and a throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
