Outdoor scene on a rocky hillside strung with red, white, blue, green and yellow prayer flags. A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a layered beaded necklace sits on an ornate gilded wooden chair with palms pressed together in greeting. A standing man in a bright orange jacket and orange trousers, wearing a red knit cap, holds a red umbrella over the seated figure. Beside them stands a small gilded deity murti on a green cloth. A patterned rug covers the ground, and a young girl in red sits at the lower left edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure shows long dark hair, orange robes and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces, so this is a candidate for Swamiji seated on a throne.
