A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi on his forehead wears a white dhoti-style cloth over his shoulder and a heavy gold bead necklace with a blue cord, seated beside a gilded carved throne. Behind him are a garland of pink, orange and yellow flowers and a brass oil lamp with a lit flame. In the lower right, a bald man in profile with his hand raised faces him, appearing to listen during a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold ceremonial necklace and white ritual cloth match the presentation of the page's named teacher, so the seated man is labelled as such.
