A seated figure on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with a crown and garlands of white, red and yellow flowers, dressed in orange clothing with a red bindi, smiling and raising a hand in blessing. A younger man in an orange robe stands at left, touching the throne's arm and bowing close. Heaps of colourful flower petals cover the seat, with red and orange cushions and a gold trident-topped element at right. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a crown and orange clothing with garlands, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at a Gurupoornima celebration.
