A smiling man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and blue gemstones, with silver elephant-head armrests. He wears a rust-red robe, a pink and white flower garland, a gold chest ornament and a gold bead necklace, and a white tripundra with a red dot on his forehead. Gold armlets and bangles adorn his arms, and his hand rests on the elephant armrest. Striped orange-and-black tiger-print cushions cover the seat. Behind him are leafy trees and a hanging wire. Only one physical person is present. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair, gold ornaments and a rudraksha-style bead necklace with a ceremonial garland, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
