A seated figure in a saffron-yellow robe and matching turban sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne upholstered in red and draped with bands of marigold and mixed flower garlands. The figure wears a long beaded necklace and holds hands together in front of the chest. Behind the throne hangs a multicoloured canopy with fringed tassels, flanked by red, black and green swagged drapes decorated with small flowers. Tall brass oil lamps stand on both sides, and a wide floral garland hangs along the stage. The figure's appearance matches the page's Swamiji reference through a saffron robe, turban and beaded necklace seated on a throne, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.
