A seated man in a rust-red and maroon sannyasi garment with a shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a leopard-print cushion and a golden lion at its base. He wears a gold necklace, a red-and-gold beaded necklace, and has a vertical tilak on his forehead with long dark hair. Two large painted deity murti flank the throne on either side, holding attributes such as a trident and a mace, with crowns, gold jewelry and rudraksha-style beads. Hanging bells, a brass lamp and offerings sit before the throne. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, saffron-toned ceremonial clothing, and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's identification of the throne-seated teacher.
