A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and a leopard-print sleeveless garment sits cross-legged on a gilded wooden throne draped with a tiger-skin rug, smiling and raising one hand in a gesture of address. He wears a sandalwood-and-kumkum forehead mark, multiple strands of orange rudraksha-style beads, a ceremonial gold necklace and small gold earrings. Behind him are red brick walls and a stone-paved courtyard with a water feature. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's Swamiji context, so this is a probable identification of the seated teacher, who appears in person.
