A smiling man with a full beard, forehead tilak and long hair sits cross-legged on an ornate silver and red throne (peetha) on a stage. He wears a rust-red robe with a gold-and-beige border, a heavy gold necklace with a large gold pendant, and a bead mala. Potted plants with green leaves and red flowers flank the throne, brass oil lamps stand at the sides, and a golden deity murti with a yellow cloth backdrop is behind him. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, ornate gold necklace and red-saffron robe with a seated throne match the page's presence of the Paramashivam, shown in person.
