A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with red velvet cushions, in front of a carved wooden screen. He wears a rust-red robe draped over his shoulders, a white and red tilak on his forehead, and a rudraksha-style necklace. He raises a long wooden staff decorated with pink flowers and bright cloth streamers in one hand. In front of him, a bare-chested person with a hair bun, orange beaded necklaces and a white cloth at the waist kneels and holds out a tray with a flowered ritual implement. A silver vessel sits on the throne's base. The appearance is consistent with the page's description of Swamiji, presenting a probable Swamiji (probable) figure with long swept-back hair, ornate gold throne and red robe; the figure is seated and receiving a ritual offering.
