A man with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with a large carved gold backrest and red velvet cushions. He wears an orange saffron robe, a heavy ceremonial gold necklace with round gold beads, and has white vertical tilak marks with a red bindi on his forehead. He sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaskar, in a devotional posture. A partially visible person sits at the bottom edge of the frame, and a framed religious image appears at the upper right. The page indicates this is Swamiji, with the appearance cues of long hair, saffron clothing, gold necklace and ornate throne consistent with a probable identification; the figure is shown in person, seated and in prayer.
