A seated bearded man in a gold crown and ornate gold-and-pink attire sits on a red throne before a floral backdrop of red, yellow, white and green garlands arranged in curving arches. He smiles and holds up a printed booklet with a portrait on its cover, speaking into a microphone on a stand. Heavy gold necklaces, a rudraksha-style pendant, pink garland and gold armbands adorn him. Golden lion figures flank the throne and a gold trident stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, gold crown, rust-coloured ceremonial clothing and ornate gold necklaces match the page's Swamiji reference; he is seated as a speaker at a celebration event.
