A man with long dark hair and a red bindi sits enthroned on a golden peetha-style chair decorated with dense garlands of white jasmine, yellow and magenta marigolds, and multicoloured flower strands. He wears a dark embroidered sherwani-style outfit with a black shawl and a heavy gold necklace, and his bare feet rest on a red cushion strewn with flowers. Behind him stand a row of printed cutout figures of devotees with hands in anjali mudra, and a blue drape hangs at the right. The setting suggests a ceremonial darshan with a dais and floral offerings. Swamiji (probable): the long hair, gold necklace and throne-like seat are the cues, and the page names him.
