A seated man in a yellow turban and yellow draped robe sits cross-legged with eyes closed and hands in a mudra on a gold-framed throne. He wears a heavy gold multi-bead necklace and a red bindi. The throne is decorated with marigold and white jasmine garlands in yellow, purple, red and white, with silver-embellished ornaments on its sides. Overhead a colourful cloth canopy with tassels frames the scene. Appearance cues of a long swept-back hair, turban, saffron-yellow robes and gold necklace are present, and the page places Swamiji at this event, so this is a probable Swamiji seated on a throne during a satsang.
