A man seated on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, holding a silver trident upright in his raised right hand. He wears a rust-orange saffron cloth wrapped around his body, has a white tilak with a red dot on his forehead, and has long dark hair. Gold dwarapala-style attendant figures flank the throne, one holding a gold dish. The floor has a colourful striped woven rug, a brass railing runs across the front, and a gold deity murti stands at the right edge. Swamiji (probable): the saffron clothing, long swept-back hair and trident are consistent with the page's claim, so this is an in-person candidate.
