A smiling man seated cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a carved, scrolled backrest, wearing a deep maroon turban, a red bindi, and maroon-and-saffron robes with a saffron sash. He wears layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, a large ceremonial gold pendant necklace, a gold bangle on each upper arm and a bangle on his wrist. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of a turban, saffron-toned ornate clothing, rudraksha malas and a gold pendant match the page's claim, so this is the in-person figure seated on the throne.
