A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, its arch decorated with red, white, yellow and green flower garlands. He wears layered gold-bead necklaces, a gold pendant, gold armlets and a saffron turban, and holds a silver staff upright beside him. Two devotees are partly visible at the lower edges, and a small brass lamp sits at the left edge. Probable Swamiji sits in the central throne position, with long swept-back hair, saffron robes, ceremonial gold necklaces and a bindi, cues that match the page's claim.
