A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a gold canopy above him, palms pressed together in namaste with eyes closed and a broad smile. He wears a white turban with a gold brooch, a white kurta and white dhoti with a sash, and is barefoot on a white cloth scattered with petals. Behind him is a painted backdrop of Ganesha, a deity with blue skin and an upraised hand, and snowy mountains. Two men in black shirts stand at the sides, one raising an arm. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, with white and gold ceremonial dress, a turban and a throne, but the cues are not distinctive enough to confirm identity. A gold-framed backdrop and throne suggest a satsang or darshan setting.
