A seated man with long, wavy dark hair sits on a dark red cushioned throne before an elaborate gold repoussé backdrop. He wears a rust-red and gold-bordered garment draped over his shoulders, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with large ornate pendant, gold armlets on both upper arms, a gold bracelet on one wrist, and a small dark bindi on his forehead with white markings. He smiles and looks to his right with hands resting on his lap. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces, ornate rust-and-gold clothing and a throne, consistent with the page's reference to him at this event.
