A man seated on an ornate white and silver throne on a stage with deep red curtains and a gilded arch behind him. He wears a rust-orange saffron-toned robe, a rudraksha-style red and gold garland of marigolds and roses, gold necklaces and a red and gold armband, with a red tilak on his forehead. He sits with his hand resting on a lion-shaped armrest and holds a cup on a small wooden table beside him. Behind him a gold-painted deity murti of Shiva with a consort stands within the arch, flanked by brass oil lamps, potted plants and a silver trishula. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a crown-less saffron robe, a rudraksha-adorned garland and gold ornaments, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
