A seated man in a maroon-red robe sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and blue gemstones, its arms resting on carved silver elephant heads and cushioned with tiger-striped orange upholstery. He wears layered garlands of pink and white flowers, a gold pendant and gold beaded necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, and a white vibhuti forehead mark with a red bindi. He smiles broadly with one hand resting on the elephant armrest. Behind him are dark foliage and a hanging wire. Swamiji (probable): a bearded figure with long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklaces and a maroon robe seated on a jewelled throne, consistent with the page's identification.
