A bearded man with long dark hair and a horizontal sandalwood tilak on his forehead sits smiling broadly on an ornate silver-and-red throne, arms extended, wearing a rust-orange robe and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace with a large pendant. Potted green plants with small orange flowers flank the throne, a gold staff stands at left, and a gold-draped deity murti or figure appears in the background behind a yellow and gold altar. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, rust-orange robe and gold necklace fit the page's description of the presiding teacher, but this is appearance-based only. Single seated person visible.
