A man in an orange-red dhoti with gold trim and a matching red shawl stands barefoot on a red and patterned rug, raising one hand and holding a long-necked stringed instrument. A gold-and-red throne with a garland of red, white and orange flowers and a golden lion-form armrest stands beside him. Behind is a backdrop with a gold-clad deity murti in a seated pose, holding objects in several hands. Brass oil lamps stand on either side, and a gold pillar is at the right edge. The man wears long swept-back hair, a red bindi and a beaded necklace. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, red-orange and gold ceremonial clothing and a beaded necklace suggest the page's subject; the appearance cue is moderate, so the label stays probable.
