A smiling man with a bare chest and a deep red-orange shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and deity motifs. He wears a tall gold crown with red and green gem accents, a gold necklace, multiple white and pink flower garlands, and gold armbands and bangles. Beside him stand a gold lion-head armrest, a gold ceremonial staff and a gold leaf-shaped finial. A partially visible man in dark clothing is at the lower right edge. Probable Swamiji is seated in the throne, identified by the crown and ornate gold regalia together with the garlands and red-orange shawl; the page indicates his presence at the Ujjain Kumbh Mela pushpabhishekam and pratyaksha padapuja.
