A smiling bearded man with a red tilak on his forehead stands in front of a gold-ornate throne draped with a tiger-print cloth. He wears a rust-orange sannyasi wrap over a bare upper body and is heavily garlanded with long red and white flower strands, pale green lotus buds, and yellow marigold and lime garlands. A golden trident leans against the red curtain behind him, and a painted image of raised hands appears at the top of the frame. A red thread is tied on his wrist. Scattered limes lie on the tiger-print seat. Swamiji (probable): long hair, rust-orange wrap and ornate ceremonial garlanding; the page identifies him as Swamiji for this event.
