A smiling man seated on an ornate gilded throne with lion-carved arms and a deep red velvet cushion. He wears a peach-coloured turban with a jewelled brooch, a peach draped garment with gold border, a multi-strand gold ornamental necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi on his forehead. His right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. Behind him are painted panels in orange and red. Appearance-based Swamiji (probable): the swept ceremonial turban, ornate gold jewellery and throne setting match the page's reference to Swamiji, though his face is not used for identification.
