A seated man in a reddish-maroon garment with a gold-toned torso ornament and a large gold pendant necklace sits on a leopard-print cushioned throne in front of an ornate gilded backdrop with hanging bells and tassels. Two painted deity murti flank him, each with multiple arms, gold crowns, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, and colourful green and pink lower garments. The setting resembles a temple-like dais. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair and a gold crown-like headpiece with a gold necklace, consistent with the page's reference to a discourse; this is a photo of a live seated person in the centre.
