A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat and carved lion-head armrests, wearing saffron robes, a long rudraksha-style mala with a gold chain, and a golden crown, with hands raised to the head. Flower garlands in red, orange and purple hang over the throne, and a gold-framed yellow floral backdrop surrounds the scene. Three attendants in saffron and orange clothes sit or kneel nearby, one standing at left holding a fan-like object. Offerings fill the foreground: bowls of fruit including oranges, apples, grapes and bananas, sweets, a brass bowl, flower garlands and a rudraksha mala on the ground. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a long-haired appearance with saffron robes, a golden crown and mala, consistent with the page's description of Swamiji at this event.
