A seated man on an ornate gold-and-maroon throne with a tiger-skin rug draped over the seat and leopard-print cushions behind him. He wears a maroon-red turban with a gold brooch, a red bindi, and a red-orange silk robe with gold borders. A thick rudraksha-style beaded mala hangs around his neck, and he holds a carved wooden staff with a serpent-head top, while another carved staff with a bird-head top stands beside the throne. He sits cross-legged, eyes closed, smiling, with a small microphone at his ear. Swamiji (probable): the turban, saffron-red robe, mala and throne are consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
