A seated man in a maroon-brown ochre robe sits on an ornate silver throne encrusted with red, green and white gems, draped with orange and black tiger-striped cushions. He wears a white forehead mark, long dark hair, gold necklaces, bangles and an armlet, and holds a crescent-shaped wooden object and a stem of white jasmine while smiling down over a long pink lotus garland. A silver elephant-headed deity figure with a red cloth cap sits beside the throne. Swamiji (probable) is identified by the page only; the visible cues are the long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and the ceremonial throne, giving a probable appearance-based match in an evening setting with greenery behind.
