A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne decorated with yellow, red and purple flower garlands and colourful embroidered hangings. He wears saffron-orange robes with a long white and red flower garland and a rudraksha-style bead necklace, holding a white ceremonial sword in one hand and a gold staff with a finial in the other. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron clothing and beaded necklace fit the appearance associated with the page, with the throne and garlands marking a ceremonial honour. Two or more onlookers' heads are partly visible at the bottom edge of the frame.
