A seated figure in meditation pose sits cross-legged on a gilded two-tier throne with red cushioned tops, set against a large draped golden cloth backdrop with a blue painted wall behind. The figure wears an orange-saffron dhoti, a long yellow-gold flower garland, a shawl over the shoulders, and has long dark hair; white paste marks appear on the arms. A gold trident with orange-red cloth stands at the right, and a black trident-shaped stand sits on the wall. A small black kamandalu-like pot rests on the lower left of the platform. Appears to be a stage tableau or staged murti-like setup rather than an audience event.
