A seated man on an ornate golden throne with carved lion-head armrests, wearing a rust-red turban adorned with peacock feathers and a red plume, gold earrings, a rudraksha-style beaded mala and layered gold necklaces, and a rust-red shawl over a red garment. He has gold armbands and bangles, and holds a wooden staff while smiling and gesturing. Behind him hangs blue fabric patterned with peacock-feather motifs. The red zebra-striped cushions of the throne frame the scene. Swamiji (probable) appears in this photo, matching the page's event context via the distinctive turban, peacock crown, beaded malas and saffron-red ceremonial clothing of a seated teacher on a throne.
