A seated man in dark red-brown robes sits on an ornate throne covered in jewelled peacock and floral mosaic work with green, red and blue stones, with a tiger-striped cushion below. He wears a white vertical tilak on his forehead, a red bindi, a gold chain with a large pendant, gold armbands, pink and white flower garlands, and earrings. A bare-chested attendant in red cloth stands at the right edge, holding a brass tray of pink and yellow flower petals toward him. The setting is an outdoor area with dark foliage behind. The seated man has long swept-back hair and ornate gold adornments with a red-robed, flower-offering scene, consistent with the page's a person reference; the appearance cues are partly visible, so identity is uncertain.

Pink and white flower garlands hang around his neck. He reaches toward a tray of offerings held by a second person in a red shawl seen from behind, who wears a gold bangle. A jewelled silver deity murti draped in red cloth appears at lower left. The scene reads as a ceremonial initiation, with the seated figure a probable Swamiji by his distinctive long hair, adornments and throne.2017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copiesSeptember 28 20172017-09-28 +1 copies
