A smiling man with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi sits on a gold-and-red throne before dark red velvet drapery. He wears a saffron-orange shawl with a gold border over orange garments, and a rudraksha mala with a gold pendant. He holds a silver staff with ornate engraving in one hand and extends his other hand toward a small hand reaching in from the right, with a second person's arm visible at the lower right. Swamiji (probable): the visible cues of long hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha mala and gold pendant are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji, presented here as a seated figure giving a blessing or receiving a visitor at a formal event.
