A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red velvet cushioning, flanked by gilded lion sculptures. He wears a red turban with a small red bindi, a red draped robe over one shoulder, a white pearl necklace and a long gold bead mala with a gold pendant, and a beaded armband. His hands rest folded in his lap. Swamiji (probable): the red turban, red robe, rudraksha-style mala and gold ornaments match the page's Swamiji context, but the identification rests on these cues alone.
