A smiling man sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms and an elaborate gilded backrest, a seat of honour in a temple-like hall. He wears a rust-red turban decorated with a jewelled ornament and a maroon-red robe with a gold border draped over his shoulder. He has a red bindi and white-painted ash marks on his forehead and upper arms, and he wears long strands of gold-beaded necklaces, gold armlets and bangles. His hands rest together on his lap. Swamiji (probable) cues: turban, red robe, gold ceremonial necklaces and ash marks seated on a throne; the page's Swamiji flag is not used to infer identity beyond these appearance cues.
