A seated man in an ornate golden throne setting wears a rust-orange turban with jeweled ornament and a red tilak, rust-orange robes, multiple rudraksha and gold-bead necklaces, a pink and white flower garland, and an orange rudraksha armlet. He holds a tall silver spear-like staff, the trident-type ceremonial weapon, while smiling. Behind him are a golden carved throne canopy, deep red drapes, a brass oil lamp, and a striped tiger-print cloth on the seat. A microphone stand is visible at right. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues are the saffron turban, rudraksha malas, gold necklace and seated throne with ceremonial spear, consistent with the page's reference to the Supreme Pontiff, a discourse on Skanda Shasti Brahmotsava day four.
