A seated figure on an ornate gold throne with a lion-form base, draped in orange robes and a large multicoloured garland of white and red flowers, with a red-and-black striped cushion beside him. A devotee in white dhoti and shirt bends forward with head bowed, hands clasped over the seated man's feet, while another white-clad devotee places a hand on the throne's side. Attendants in orange and a woman in a pink-patterned sari with a brass plate stand nearby. A trident stands behind the throne, a tented canopy with floral chandelier overhead, and yellow and white petals scatter across the red carpet. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long dark hair, orange robes, a garland and a throne, a role consistent with the page's Jayanti event; the appearance cues are sufficient but not conclusive.
