A seated man in an ornate gold throne with carved silver-gilt arms and a dark red cushion, wearing a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, multiple strands of gold-coloured beads, gold bangles and armlets, and a red kumkum mark on his forehead. His long dark hair is swept up in a high bun, and he smiles with eyes lowered while sitting cross-legged on the throne. Beside him stands a tall decorated kalasha-style pillar striped in red and white with yellow discs, and on the right a deity murti draped in orange and yellow marigold garlands. The backdrop has gold and cream marble-patterned panels. Swamiji (probable): the flowing saffron robe, ornate gold necklaces, swept-back hair and throne are appearance cues consistent with the page identification.
