A seated figure in a yellow turban, yellow robe with red-and-gold border and a long rudraksha-style bead necklace sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion. He holds a folded paper in one hand and rests his other hand on the head of a standing man in a white kurta who bows with palms joined. Yellow and red flower garlands hang behind the throne, and a woman in a red sari stands at the right edge. The scene looks like a blessing or padapuja-style ceremony. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a yellow turban and rudraksha-style necklace, matching the page's claim of his presence, so the figure is identified as the Swamiji with the appearance-based label.
