A man seated on a gilded golden Nandi bull sculpture on a raised stage, in front of an ornate golden throne-like arch with lion-shaped side panels and a deity murti or statue above him. He wears a rust-orange robe, a white and pink flower garland, a rudraksha mala, and a dark crown-like headdress with gold ornament. A trident stands at left, potted plants and a microphone stand are at right, and a red curtain backs the stage. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair and beard and wears saffron-orange robes with rudraksha beads and a garland, a ceremonial presentation consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji.
