A man seated on an ornate gold throne with carved peacock-feather style backrest and lion-headed armrests, backed by red and gold draped curtains. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth, a long multi-strand gold and bead necklace with a large gold pendant, beaded red-and-gold bracelets, and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead. His right hand is raised in a mudra gesture while his left hand rests near his lap. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery and saffron-toned robes, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji. Leopard-print seat cushions sit beneath the throne.
