A seated man in a rust-red dhoti-style wrap and matching shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head armrests and red tiger-striped cushions. He wears an orange-and-red turban with a small green jewelled ornament, a red bindi, a long gold bead necklace, gold bangles and armbands, and holds his hands together in his lap while smiling. Golden lion sculptures flank the throne, and carved painted deity figures with raised arms stand on either side. A telephone sits on the right armrest and a water bottle is at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the orange-and-red turban, rudraksha-style gold bead necklace and ceremonial red wrap fit the presentation associated with the page.
