A man in an ochre-saffron robe sits cross-legged on an ornate gold-leaf throne with a carved arched back and dark red cushions, draped in a striped tiger-skin cloth. He wears a long multi-strand gold chain necklace, a white vertical tilak with a red bindi on his forehead, and a ring on his finger, and holds a small decorated drum or bell-shaped object in his raised right hand while smiling. The backdrop shows painted temple-like scenery with gold scrollwork. A portrait-style figure with long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold necklaces seated on a golden throne in saffron clothing matches the page's Swamiji reference, so this is a probable identification from appearance cues.
