A seated man in a maroon and gold-trimmed robe and cream dhoti sits on a white draped throne with purple tasseled cushions, palms pressed together in namaste. A cream turban sits on his head, and a long pink flower garland hangs to his lap. Pink and white flowers and petals cover the platform in front of the throne, with gold drapes and floral decorations behind. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair, turban and maroon ceremonial robe with a pink garland match the page's claim, and the throne and garlanded setting suggest a reception rather than a routine practice.
