A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, framed by garlands of white, red, yellow and purple flowers and colourful draped fabric panels. He wears orange saffron robes and a white-and-red flower garland, holding a silver sword in one hand and a gold ceremonial staff topped with a finial in the other. Gilded lion-like figures flank the throne base. The scene suggests a ceremonial procession or public darshan. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, floral garland and a ceremonial sword and staff on a throne, consistent with the page's Paramashivam reference.
