A man seated cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne with carved lion armrests, smiling broadly before a gold scrollwork backdrop. He wears a maroon turban with a gold ornament and crescent, a maroon saffron-toned shawl with gold border, a heavy gold bead necklace with a large gold pendant, and a gold waist chain. A silver staff with a serpent and figure finial stands beside him, a small silver table holds a white cup, and a microphone is at right. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a turban with gold regalia, ornate gold necklaces and a shawl, cues consistent with the page's Swamiji reference.
