A man with long swept-back dark hair, a bindi, a full beard and a smile sits on an ornate red-cushioned silver throne in a hall. He wears a rust-brown robe, a heavy gold necklace and armlets, and rudraksha-style beaded bracelets. Beside him stands a silver staff with a trident-like top, and a small Yamaha keyboard and a drum sit on a wooden table. Seated devotees in white dhotis and orange shawls fill the room, and a pedestal fan stands at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated central figure shows long swept-back hair, a crown-like ceremonial throne presence, saffron-brown clothing and a heavy gold ceremonial necklace, consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event.
