A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long, swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a golden tree-like canopy with gold leaves and flowers behind. A shaved-headed devotee in a grey vest over white shirt and light trousers kneels on a red-draped platform, bowing with his palms pressed to the seated figure's hands. Behind them stands a person in orange clothing, and to the right a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala and a cloth bag observes. Yellow and purple flowers and a decorative pot sit beside the throne. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, saffron robe and ceremonial throne match the page's identification, so this is a probable Swamiji (probable) receiving a devotee's obeisance.
