A seated man on a gold-and-cushioned throne in front of a dense backdrop of marigold and jasmine garlands in yellow, orange, purple and pink. He wears a maroon turban with a fan-shaped pleated crest, a richly embroidered multicoloured sherwani with sequins and a red dhoti-style lower garment, and a long layered gold necklace; a red sash hangs over his shoulder and a red bindi marks his forehead. He holds a silver ceremonial staff with a pointed finial in his right hand and rests his other hand on an orange-edged armrest. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and a crown-like turban in ceremonial dress, cues consistent with the page's reference to him, though the identification is appearance-based.
