A seated man on an ornate golden throne wears a deep maroon fan-pleated turban with a small jewel brooch and gold edging, a red tilak on his forehead, and an orange-gold silk garment with gold brocade borders. He wears layered rudraksha malas with silver spacers, rudraksha armbands and wrist bands, and holds his hands folded in his lap. Behind him a gilded carved backdrop rises, and to the right a gold lamp stand topped with a bird figure stands against a dark wall. Probable Swamiji: the flowing hair, saffron-orange clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial turban and throne together match the page's description of him.
