A smiling man with a long beard and long hair sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne upholstered in leopard-print cushions, in front of a carved silver backdrop. He wears a rust-orange turban decorated with gold ornaments, orange robes with a gold-edged wrap, a long mala of rudraksha beads, gold necklaces, a rudraksha armlet and a jewelled belt. His hands rest folded in his lap before a microphone on a stand. A silver staff stands beside the throne, a lion-form pedestal is at the foot of the seat, and marigold and red rose garlands frame the dais. A small framed portrait sits on a side table. The appearance is consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the identification rests on the page rather than on clear visible cues, so the figure is labelled a probable match.
