A smiling man with long, swept-back dark hair sits on a gilded throne with lion-head armrests, framed by a large arch of yellow, purple, red and white flower garlands with green foliage. He wears a saffron-orange robe with a multi-strand gold ornamental necklace and a red bindi on his forehead, hands clasped in his lap. The throne is set against a wooden-panelled wall. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace match the page's depiction of Swamiji, and he is shown as the seated figure of honour on the throne.
