A seated male figure in a rust-orange silk dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and mythical motifs, draped with a striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a white jasmine garland over a thick brown rudraksha mala with gold chains, gold armbands and bangles, and a red tilak on his forehead. Silver bowls with red and yellow flowers rest at his bare feet, with a brass oil lamp and hanging brass bell beside the throne. The pose suggests a padapuja setting. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, ornate saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold ornaments match the page's description of Swamiji receiving puja at the throne.
