A smiling man with long dark hair, a beard and a red bindi sits on an ornate throne decorated with sequins, gemstones and pearl strands. He wears a rust-orange dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold necklace with a deity pendant, and multiple garlands of pink lotus buds, white chrysanthemums and red roses. An orange towel rests over one armrest. Visible iconography: the man is seated in a ceremonial setting with a rudraksha-style neck ornament and gold jewellery. The throne has green and blue inlaid panels behind it. The swami figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji flag with several cues: long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and saffron-orange clothing, so this is a probable Swamiji identification.
