A man sits cross-legged on a gold throne (peetha) with a dense arch of marigold, rose and jasmine garlands in yellow, red, purple and white behind him. He wears a red turban, a red shawl draped over bare shoulders, and a heavy gold beaded mala with a gold pendant, and his hands rest in his lap. A gold trident (trishul) stands at right beside a small drum, and brass oil lamps (diyas) flank the stage. A golden murti of a deity is set into the throne arch at left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a red turban, red shawl and ceremonial gold mala, consistent with the page's identification. Blue backdrop with gold and tinsel lights.
