A seated man in rust-brown and saffron-bordered robes sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests, holding a silver trident in his right hand and resting his left arm on the armrest. He wears a long white flower garland, rudraksha-style beads and a gold chest ornament, with a white tilak on his forehead. Behind him, gold-and-jewelled deity murtis with crowns and raised hands stand on a golden throne back. Bolsters and golden side panels frame the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long swept-back hair, a bearded face, a trident, saffron-brown ceremonial robes, garland and ornate gold necklaces, consistent with the page's description of Swamiji at this event.
