A bare-chested man sits on an ornate gold throne against a gold curtain, smiling broadly. He wears a tall black turban with a crescent ornament, a white tripundra and red bindi, and layered necklaces of red coral beads, gold coins and pendants. He holds a white staff in one hand and a peacock-feather fan is at his side. Flanking him are gold ceremonial umbrellas topped with crescent finials and a gold deity murti on the right. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has a turban, layered rudraksha-style beads and ceremonial gold ornaments, consistent with the page's reference to a seated event figure.
