A smiling man seated in profile beside an ornate gold-leaf carved throne or altar panel. He wears a lilac-pink cloth wrapped as a turban-like headdress with a gold band and a peacock feather tucked in at the top, and long dark hair falls past his shoulders. He has a red-and-yellow bindi on his forehead, a gold necklace with green and red stones, and pale pink-white garments over bare shoulders. Behind him are garlands of purple, yellow and orange flowers, a pink floral decoration, and a wooden pillar with red and gold tassel trim. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, a peacock-feather crown with gold band, ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha-style beads, consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.
