A man stands on a tiered golden throne platform in front of an ornate golden-backed chair with a gold canopy, a large red rose and floral backdrop behind him. He wears a rust-red turban, a rust-red garment with a leopard-print wrap, a long white jasmine garland with red flower accents, rudraksha beads and a gold pendant, and gold armlets and bangles. He smiles with eyes closed, one hand resting near his side. A silver trident leans beside the throne and scattered papers and red petals lie on the floor. Given the page's description of a Varanasi session and the appearance cues of a red turban, layered rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, this is a Swamiji (probable) seated on a throne.
