A smiling man seated on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a rust-brown turban with a crescent and jewelled ornament, a rust-brown robe, layered gold necklaces and a gold pendant, and bangles on his arms. He wears a pink and white flower garland and holds his hands on his knees in front of a microphone on a stand. Behind him are green silk drapes and bands of marigold and rose garlands in yellow, red, orange and purple. Swamiji (probable) is present: long swept-back hair is not visible, but the turban, ornate gold jewellery and garlands match the page's Swamiji claim, so the cues are distinctive.
