A bearded man in saffron-brown robes sits on an ornate white and red throne in front of a golden backdrop with a large deity murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together. He wears a long gold necklace with a gold pendant, gold armbands and bracelets, and a white tilak on his forehead. A tall gold trident stands at his left, and green leafy plants, a red curtain, brass oil lamps and a teacup surround the dais. Swamiji (probable): the man on the throne has long swept-back hair, saffron-brown ceremonial robes, gold necklaces and a seated dais position, matching the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Gold bowls and glasses sit near his hands.
