A man seated on an ornate golden throne raises his right hand in blessing while smiling. He wears a black turban decorated with a golden crescent and a golden headband, a red saffron-toned garment, and layered gold rudraksha-style beaded necklaces with a large pendant, plus gold bangles and a gold waist belt. Behind him stand a golden trident and a gilded lion-faced armrest. To the left is a silver oil lamp with a bird-shaped finial and a white flower garland, and white flower garlands hang along the right edge. The setting is a warm-lit stage or temple hall. Probable Swamiji: the seated man's turban, crown-like ornaments, saffron clothing and ceremonial gold necklaces are consistent with the page's description of the event.
