A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red zebra-striped cushions, with his palms pressed together in namaste and eyes closed in a smile. He wears a large garland of pink petals draped across his shoulders and chest, a rudraksha mala hangs at his chest, and a red bindi marks his forehead. Long dark hair falls to his shoulders. Strands of white and purple flower garlands hang on the black backdrop behind him, and yellow and pink petals are scattered at the base of the throne. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial garland are consistent with the page's Swamiji reference. The throne and garlands alone are not the basis for identification.
