A seated man on a golden throne with leopard-print cushions and carved lion armrests is receiving a ritual from a standing attendant in orange. The seated man wears a leopard-print headband, a long multicoloured garland of yellow, red, green and white flowers, a brown dhoti and gold jewellery, and has his hands cupped together in a gesture of reverence. The attendant bends forward from the right, wearing an orange turban and orange dhoti with a bare upper body and a white sacred thread, and holds a ceremonial implement with a long handle. A large gilded backrest with ornate carvings stands behind the throne, with red drapes in the background. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair tied up, a multicoloured garland and gold necklaces on a throne, matching the page's reference to Swamiji's presence.
