A seated man in a red and maroon dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate silver throne with a silver canopy and a garland-draped arch of red, white, purple and yellow flowers. He wears a gold necklace with beaded ornaments, a rudraksha-style mala, and a white and gold headpiece, and holds a long silver staff upright. Beside him stands a large gold statue of a female figure with folded hands. A backdrop shows a red illuminated temple tower under a dark curtain, and a brass railing runs in front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a crown-like headpiece, ornate gold necklaces and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's description of ceremonial presentation, so he is identified as the person seated on the throne in a puja setting.
