A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cloth draped behind him. He wears a rust-red robe over his shoulders, a gold pendant necklace, a white horizontal tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and bangles on his wrist. A large ornate silver bowl filled with ash or powder sits on a green banana leaf in front of him, and his hand rests near it. A woman in a light white sari with a grey head covering, holding a pink container, smiles at the right edge beside the throne. Swamiji (probable): the man shows long swept-back hair, a red robe and a gold necklace on a throne, and the page names him. The setting is an ornate gold-carved hall with a stylized figure on the right.
