A seated man in a rust-orange garment with a bare upper arm, wearing white jasmine garlands over multiple gold-coloured necklaces and gold armlets, sits on a red-cushioned gold throne with a gold lion-headed armrest. He has a red bindi and white vertical forehead marks, and holds a long wooden rod-like object in both hands while looking down. Behind him hang a blue patterned fabric backdrop and a deep red curtain. A pink flower ornament rests on his wrist. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold necklaces and a throne fit the page's attribution, though the figure is only partly identifiable from appearance alone.
