A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a red cushioned seat, smiling with hands clasped on his lap. He wears a maroon and orange turban, a maroon robe with orange border, gold bangles on both arms, and a long beaded necklace with a gold pendant. A red kumkum bindi marks his forehead. Behind him stand two painted deity figures holding ritual objects, with garlands of flowers at the top of the frame. The seat appears to be a dais in a temple-style hall. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man, based on the turban, saffron-and-maroon robes, ceremonial necklace and throne setting, as the page indicates his presence at this event.
