A long-haired man with a red bindi sits on a gold-and-cream throne heavily decorated with yellow and red marigold garlands and white flowers. He wears an orange dhoti and an orange and pink silk shawl with gold zari borders, plus a gold ceremonial necklace and a white and red flower garland. He raises one hand in greeting and holds a silver staff with a trident-like top in the other. Behind him stands a gilded ornamental backdrop. Caption-style evidence in the page excerpt ties this event to Swamiji, and his orange-and-gold ceremonial dress, long hair and gold necklace are consistent with the probable identity, so this is described as Swamiji (probable) seated in a festival or darshan setting.
