A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on a golden throne-like seat decorated with yellow, white, purple and red flower garlands and a gold relief of a deity. He wears a sleeveless orange saffron garment and a heavy gold-toned bead necklace of ceremonial style. A wooden panelled wall stands behind him. A gold lotus-like ornament appears in the foreground. The appearance matches the page's reference to Swamiji in a probable, appearance-based sense: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and ornate gold necklace, seated in an honoured position.
