A smiling man sits on an ornate silver-gilded throne with leopard-print cushions and carved lion armrests. He wears an orange-saffron robe, a long multi-strand white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace, and rudraksha bracelets on both upper arms. A red tilak marks his forehead and he holds a silver trident in his right hand. Swamiji (probable): long, swept-back hair, ornate gold necklace and saffron robe are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji. Behind him is a large decorated backdrop with temple-style carvings.
