A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with a gold-bordered shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-gilt throne (peetha) with red velvet cushions. The throne's back is framed by a garland arch of white, yellow, red and purple flowers. Bare feet rest on a red cushion. A silver bowl and a flower arrangement sit at the lower left and right, and a dark background surrounds the scene.
