A man seated on an ornate gold throne holds a tall silver ceremonial staff with an engraved head in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-brown turban with a crescent-moon ornament, brown robes, a gold ceremonial necklace and gold bangles, and is draped in a thick garland of pink lotus blossoms with a red and white floral garland across his lap. A gold lion figure stands beside the throne, and a tiger-striped cloth lies beneath. Yellow and orange flower offerings are arranged in front of him against a pink and violet backdrop. A gold relief of a seated deity is visible on the throne back. Swamiji (probable): the turban, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial staff are the cues, and the seated presentation matches the page's event.
