A seated man in rust-red robes sits with eyes closed and hands folded in his lap on a red cushioned throne backed by an ornate gold relief. He wears a pink and white flower garland, a thick rudraksha mala, gold armbands and bangles, and a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead. Beside him stand a gold trident and hanging brass bells, with oil lamps and a gold kalasha-like ornament at the right edge. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse hall. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's reference to Paramahamsa Nithyananda.
