A seated man in white clothes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with carved lion-head armrests, beneath a golden ceremonial umbrella with tassels. He wears a white turban and a white shawl draped over his shoulders and holds one hand on an armrest. Behind him hangs a large printed backdrop of Hindu deities against snowy mountains, including a multi-armed goddess on a lotus, Ganesha, a figure with a trident and a Shiva-linked form with a bull, plus a dark purple cloth below. The setting appears to be a temple or ceremonial hall. Probable Swamiji: the white turban, long swept-back hair and white ceremonial dress with a shawl are the visible cues, seated as the honoured figure on the throne.
