A seated man in rust-orange and saffron robes with a golden-yellow border sits on an ornate gold throne with a deep red velvet cushion and a leopard-print seat cover. He wears layered garlands and a ceremonial gold necklace, bangles on both wrists, and a red-orange tilak on his forehead, and holds a small microphone near his face. A gold trident-topped staff stands to his right beside a brass oil lamp, and lit oil lamps sit before the throne with potted plants on both sides. The backdrop shows a painted city of temple domes. The cues of long hair, ornate saffron clothing and ceremonial jewellery match the page's description of Swamiji, so this is a probable identification.
