A man seated on an ornate golden throne carved with lions and draped with leopard-print and tiger-skin cushions, his palms pressed together in greeting. He wears a rust-red dhoti and shawl, a heavy gold necklace, and red beaded bangles and armlets, with a white forehead mark and a gold crown above. Behind him hang brass bells and oil lamps against a black backdrop, and fresh flowers lie on a tray at his feet. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, gold crown and saffron-red ceremonial clothing with a gold necklace align with the page's identification of Swamiji, so this is a candidate; appearance is consistent but not certain.
