A smiling bearded man sits on an ornate silver throne carved with floral scrollwork and rearing animal figures, with leopard-print cushions beneath him. He wears a golden crown, a rust-red saffron robe, long multi-strand garlands of pink and white flowers, a heavy gold necklace with a pendant, rudraksha beads on his wrists and arms, and holds a silver staff with his right hand. Behind him a large backdrop shows a painted temple gopuram. Swamiji (probable): the figure is seated on a throne wearing a golden crown, saffron robe, rudraksha bracelets and a gold necklace, consistent with the page's account of a Navaratri event at the Nithyanandeshwara temple.
