A smiling man with long dark hair, a full black beard and a white vertical tilak sits on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest against a deep red curtain. He wears a red-brown robe with a reddish shawl draped over one shoulder, and his neck and chest are covered in long garlands of pink lotus blooms, white jasmine strings, red and yellow marigolds and green leaves. He holds a small yellow-orange fruit in one hand. The page flags Swamiji as present, and his appearance matches the cues of long hair, ceremonial dress and throne seating, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) seated in a discourse setting.
