A seated man in a maroon and gold turban adorned with jeweled brooches sits cross-legged on a red velvet cushion against an ornate gold and silver throne with a golden canopy hung with bells and leaf pendants. He is bare-chested, wearing layered gold necklaces, a large gold pendant, a maroon dhoti with gold border, a gold armlet and a red thread on his wrist, with hands clasped in his lap and a vermilion mark on his forehead. Behind him is a galaxy-star backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure wears a jeweled turban, layered ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha-style adornments, matching the page's Swamiji reference; the image shows a throne-and-canopy presentation typical of the enthroned pontiff depiction.
