A man seated on a golden throne under a red, blue and green tasselled ceremonial umbrella, with garlands of white and red flowers draped over his shoulders and a white turban on his head. He wears a white dhoti with a gold border and has a red tilak mark on his forehead, smiling. Golden finials and marigold and orange flower arrangements decorate the throne and the foreground, with palm trees behind. Swamiji (probable): the long swept-back hair, white turban, white and gold ceremonial clothing and garlanded throne match the cues the page associates with him, so he is labelled as probable.
