A seated man in white dhoti and shawl sits on an ornate gold throne carved with floral and deity motifs, flanked by gold lion-head armrests. He wears a red tilak on his forehead, a red and gold neckband, a rudraksha mala with a pendant, and gold armlets, with hands folded in his lap. Orange drapes and a garland of red and yellow flowers frame the throne against a temple-style backdrop. Seated in front, partially visible, are devotees, one bald man in white and others holding small objects, with heads and shoulders visible at the bottom edge. The scene suggests a satsang seating arrangement. The throne and white ritual clothing alone do not establish identity.
