A man seated on an ornate silver-framed throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing a rust-red wrap, multiple gold chains and gold bangles, and a vertical tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair falling past his shoulders. He holds a tall silver ceremonial staff topped with an ornamented finial in his left hand, and a gold necklace and floral gold brooches adorn his chest. Behind him, bare-chested and white-clad devotees sit in a crowded hall with a blurred red and gold backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and a saffron-red wrap with a ceremonial staff, consistent with the page reference.
