A seated man in rust-red saffron robes and a crescent-topped headdress with a patterned cloth wrap sits on an ornate gilded throne flanked by gold lion heads and leopard-print cushions. He wears a pink and white flower garland, gold chains, a red tilak on his forehead and beads at his waist, and places his right hand on the head of a bare-chested, shaven-headed devotee kneeling before him with a sacred thread across his back. The scene is a darshan with blessing of a devotee. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a crescent headdress, saffron robes and ornate gold necklaces, consistent with the page's identification.
