A smiling man in a maroon turban with a jewelled ornament and vertical tilak sits on an ornate silver throne with leopard-print cushions and armrests, hands pressed together before a microphone on a stand. He wears an orange-brown robe with a gold-bordered shawl, rudraksha malas and a gold necklace. Silver lion-head pillars flank the throne, with yellow and red marigold garlands and orange and gold embroidered drapes behind. A small framed portrait sits at the left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long hair under a turban, rudraksha malas and ornate ceremonial gold, consistent with the page's description of a discourse on the throne.
