A seated person on an ornate gold throne with a red velvet cushion and leopard-print fabric, raising both hands with palms open. He wears a deep red-brown turban decorated with peacock feathers, a red plume and jeweled pins, a red-brown shawl over the shoulder, a multi-strand gold bead and pearl necklace with a jeweled pendant, gold armlets and a red bindi. A bamboo flute rests across his lap. The scene appears to be a satsang with a microphone clipped near his face. Swamiji (probable): the red-brown robe, turban, peacock feathers, gold necklaces and armlets match the appearance-based cues for the page's subject.
