A man sits on an ornate red upholstered throne with gold-carved frame and legs, resting one arm along the armrest. He wears a multicoloured pink, blue and yellow tie-dye turban with a red bindi, a bright royal blue satin dhoti-style garment with gold zari borders draped over one shoulder, and a long gold bead necklace. His long dark hair falls to his shoulders and he is barefoot on a white cloth. A small woven mat lies at his feet. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept hair, a multicoloured turban, a long gold bead necklace and ornate saffron-free royal blue silk, with the throne as setting, and the page identifies him as Swamiji at this event. Background is a dark wall with a red-and-white striped drape. Count is one person.
