A seated man smiles broadly on a red-draped platform in front of an ornate gilded throne with lion-carved sides and a crown-shaped top. He wears an orange and black tiger-striped shawl over a saffron dhoti, with a red-and-white beaded rudraksha-style mala and multiple strands of beads around his neck and wrists. A vibhuti tilak marks his forehead and his hands rest in meditative mudra on his lap. A silver trident stands to the right, a ceremonial staff and a golden kalasha-like finial appear to the left, and painted deity murti figures with multiple arms frame the background in bright turquoise, red and gold. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a long swept-back hair, saffron ceremonial clothing and rudraksha malas, matching the page's claim of his presence.
