A seated man on an ornate silver throne with intricate carved floral and scrollwork details, holding a tall silver staff upright in his right hand. He wears a rust-orange turban, a rust-orange saffron-style wrap with gold-toned braided trim, and a gold necklace, with a red-orange tilak on his forehead and long dark braided hair falling over one shoulder. A leopard-print cushion lies beneath him, and a small silver side table holds a framed photo and a red thread bracelet on his wrist. A red curtain forms the backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron wrap, gold necklace, long hair and ceremonial throne match the cues associated with the page's described event, but the identification rests only on appearance cues.
