A seated man on an ornate golden-and-red throne flanked by golden lion armrests, draped in a tiger-skin cushion and a long multicoloured garland of white, yellow, red and green flowers around his neck. He wears a gold crown-like headpiece and gold necklaces and is smiling. Behind him a tall arch of red, yellow, green and white flower arrangements frames the throne. A man in a white shirt and white dhoti bows deeply toward him with hands folded at the throne's edge. To the left, a bearded man with bare upper body, rudraksha mala and saffron-and-white cloth stands near the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's crown, ornate gold jewellery, long garland and throne setting match the page's cues.
