A smiling bearded man with long dark hair and a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne carved with lion-like figures and scrollwork. He wears a saffron-orange draped garment, heavy gold necklaces and a large gold pendant, a gold waist belt, and a red wristband, and rests his hands on leopard-print armrest cushions. The distinctive long hair, saffron-orange clothing, and ornate gold adornments are consistent with the Swamiji (probable) appearance; the page describes a Shakti initiation event at Adikailasa, Bengaluru, but the visible scene shows only the seated figure and throne.
