A seated man in a cream turban and cream silk kurta with a gold-embroidered shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with red zebra-striped cushions and lion-head armrests. He wears a white flower garland with red blossom strands and holds his hands together at chest level in a teaching or blessing gesture. Orange and yellow flower arrangements and a white floral backdrop frame the throne on a dark green-tiled stage. A small red tilak mark is visible on his forehead. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a turban and ornate gold-and-cream ceremonial dress, consistent with the page's reference to a satsang or darshan session.
