A smiling man with long dark hair, a short beard and a vertical tilak sits on an ornate gold throne with a sunburst-style backrest, dressed in a rust-orange cloth wrapped over bare shoulders. He wears a long strand of gold beads, a gold pendant and gold earrings, and a red thread on his wrist. His right hand rests on a leopard-print cushion and a gold lion-head armrest is visible at right. A white cloth lies in the lower right foreground. Swamiji (probable): the appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron-orange ornate clothing, a gold bead mala and a throne setting match the page's reference to Swamiji at this event. Identity is based on those visible cues only.
