A man seated before an ornate golden throne with a large fan-shaped gilded backrest, wearing a rust-orange and gold shawl over bare shoulders and a long braided rudraksha-style mala necklace. He has white sandalwood paste on his forehead with a red kumkum dot and a small gold earring, and looks to his side while speaking. Behind him stand a lit brass oil lamp and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand on a pink and blue backdrop; a red tiger-striped cushion lies at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back hair, saffron-orange shawl, ornate gold throne setting and long mala are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, who is teaching.

He wears a long gold-coloured rudraksha-style beaded necklace reaching his chest, a red bindi and white tilak marks on his forehead, and gold hoop earrings. He is smiling and looking to the side. Beside him stands a tall gold oil lamp with a bird finial, and a blue-and-gold panelled wall is behind.
