A seated man in rust-red saffron robes sits eyes closed on an ornate gilded throne with a carved cobra hood canopy, before deep red draped curtains. He wears a rudraksha mala and a large gold pendant necklace, gold armbands and bangles, with a tilak on his forehead. Brass trishula stands at left, brass oil lamps flank the stage, and brass bells hang from above. A striped rug covers the dais. Swamiji (probable): long hair, saffron robes, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace match the page's Shiva Deeksha context, seated as presiding teacher on the throne.
