A man seated on an ornate throne with a gold-framed embossed backdrop, hands pressed together in anjali greeting and smiling. He wears a deep red turban, a red-orange cloth wrap over his shoulders, a rudraksha mala across his chest, and a gold necklace. Behind him is a leopard-print cloth on the seat. Beside him stand a gold staff topped with a red-jewelled finial and two ornate golden peacock figures. A large portrait of a man with a red tilak is visible on the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair beneath the turban, ornate gold necklace, rudraksha mala and orange-red robes, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
