A seated man on a gold-framed throne raises his right hand in blessing while holding a white ceremonial staff in his left. He wears a cream and gold turban, a red and gold silk garment, a long garland of white, yellow and red flowers, and gold bangles. Behind him is a large arch of marigolds and roses in red, yellow, purple and white, with a brass oil lamp on a stand at left and a golden lion figure at the throne's base. A painted deity figure with gold ornaments stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the man's turban, ornate red and gold clothing, flower garland and gold ornaments fit the page's reference, though appearance alone is not conclusive.
