A smiling man in a deep magenta turban and violet dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with a crimson cushioned seat. He wears layered gold necklaces, gold armbands and bangles, a red-and-gold sash, and a red bindi. Beside him is a golden lion sculpture, and behind him a deity murti in red and gold garments is adorned with white, pink and yellow garlands. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a swept turban, ornate gold jewellery and a ceremonial throne, which fit the page's Swamiji reference, and is presented as the central figure of the event.
