A seated man in a red-orange shawl draped over his bare shoulders sits on a leopard-print throne cushion before an ornate silver chair. He wears a tall dreadlocked turban with rudraksha beads, a gold chain and a red bracelet, and smiles toward a kneeling devotee with folded palms at left. Silver ceremonial staffs, one topped with a trident, stand behind him. At right a young woman with a red bindi is partly visible. Swamiji (probable): the seated man's long swept-back dreadlocked turban, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and orange-red robe match the page's description of the Supreme Pontiff giving a satsang talk.
