A seated man in maroon robes with orange-gold borders and a maroon-and-orange turban sits on an ornate golden throne flanked by gold lion sculptures, with a red velvet cushion behind him. He presses his palms together in a namaskar gesture, eyes closed, with a small microphone at his cheek. He wears gold bangles on his wrists, a beaded necklace and an orange shawl draped over one shoulder. Beside the throne stands an ornate golden oil lamp and a silver staff. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji label with several cues, namely the turban, saffron-orange clothing and ornate adornments, so he is described as Swamiji (probable), seated in a seated devotional stance on a stage.
