A smiling man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a red tiger-striped cushion, one arm resting on the armrest. He wears a white forehead marking with a red dot, a long ceremonial gold necklace, and beaded bracelets, and his feet are bare. Behind him a large painting shows a figure in red holding a mala. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
