A smiling figure in a saffron-red robe sits on a throne decorated with a large heart-shaped backdrop of marigolds, roses and garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. The figure wears a red and gold turban with a white plume, a rudraksha-style mala and a long beaded necklace, and raises both hands in greeting. Gold lion-head armrests draped with orange and yellow garland flank the seat, with a deep red velvet curtain behind. Swamiji (probable): the figure wears a turban, ornate ceremonial gold necklace and saffron-red clothing, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
