A seated man in a maroon-red robe with a tiger-striped cloth behind him sits before an ornate silver throne decorated with gems and peacock motifs. He wears a sandalwood-and-kumkum forehead mark, a yellow marigold garland, gold beaded necklaces and gold earrings, and smiles while looking down at a brass tray of dried red chillies held by an attendant in red from the right edge. A round silver ceremonial object with red and green stones sits at lower left. Behind the throne, string hangs with small decorations. The scene suggests a Navaratri puja setting, with the man receiving offerings. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long dark hair, a saffron-red robe, gold necklaces and a yellow garland, cues consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. The attendant in red stands at the right edge, partly visible.
