A smiling man sits cross-legged on a carved wooden throne with turned finials, wearing an orange-red shawl over bare shoulders and an orange-red dhoti with a gold border. He has a long swept-up black crown of hair, a red bindi and yellow sandalwood marks on the forehead, a gold earring and a gold necklace, and wears multiple strands of rudraksha beads with a bracelet on one wrist. Behind him are blurred ornate hangings and a pale curtain. Swamiji (probable): the crown of hair, orange-saffron clothing, rudraksha malas and gold necklace are distinctive presentation cues, and the page identifies this event as Swamiji's.
