A man with long swept-back black hair sits on an ornate gilded throne with carved lion-head armrests and a golden back panel, in front of a textured stone-look backdrop. He wears a red-orange robe, a red-and-gold ceremonial necklace, several tiered gold chains and a garland of pink, yellow and green flowers, with a red tilak on his forehead and gold bangles on his wrists. A silver-and-gold trident stands to his left. Swamiji (probable): the swept-back long hair, saffron-orange robe, ornate gold necklaces, rudraksha-style adornments and garland on a ceremonial throne match the page's description of Swamiji at the Vaicharik Mahasabha. Seated figures in the foreground are partly visible.
