A man seated on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, leaning forward with one arm extended over the armrest and holding a silver staff. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned shawl over his shoulders, a heavy gold necklace, a red bead bracelet and a tilak on his forehead, with long dark hair. Behind him rows of seated devotees in red and orange robes fill a hall with white draping and a red backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the man has long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-toned clothing on a ceremonial throne, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
