A bearded man in a saffron-orange robe and matching maroon turban sits smiling on an ornate silver throne with lion-shaped armrests and a leopard-print cushion, palms raised in greeting in front of a microphone. He wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads, a gold necklace and red beaded bangles. Behind him a repoussé silver backrest and red curtain frame the scene; a silver stand with a small framed picture sits at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair under a turban, saffron clothing and rudraksha malas, consistent with the page's event.
