A person seated on an ornate white and silver throne at the top centre wears a gold crown and a red garment with garlands, and a figure in orange robes and a rudraksha-style necklace sits to the right. Around them, devotees sit on black-draped benches in orange, white, red and dark clothing, including a shaved-headed monk in orange and a man in white at the front left. Some are seated with hands joined in reverence. The floor is covered with a light mat and the scene suggests satsang or darshan.
