A seated man in a black turban with a white vertical forehead mark and red bindi sits cross-legged on a red velvet cushion before an ornate gold throne. He wears layered rudraksha malas, a large gold pendant, and a reddish-brown dhoti-style cloth, and holds green leafy sprigs in both hands while smiling. Golden figures flank him: a trident on the left, a drum-playing female figure on the left, a veena-playing female figure on the right, and crescent-topped gold finials behind the throne against gold drapery. The man's appearance, with the turban, malas and ornate ceremonial clothing, is consistent with the page's claim, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) in a ceremonial seated pose.
