A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold ornate necklace and a white forehead mark sits on a golden throne before red drapes, with a peacock-feather fan and a carved wooden staff topped by a cobra-hood hanging nearby. He holds out a folded white paper to a smiling woman in a white top and orange shawl with a red thread around her neck, who stands with palms pressed together in namaskar. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's claim; he is the seated presenter in the scene.
