A seated man smiles broadly on an ornate golden throne carved with lion heads and mythical birds, with a jeweled, multicolored decorative backdrop behind him. He wears a crown with a purple gem, a black swept-back hairstyle, a rust-red garment, a gold necklace and a rudraksha mala, and is garlanded with white flowers and multicolored bead garlands. He holds a flower in one hand while his other arm reaches out. Several people in white and rust-colored clothing sit in the foreground with their heads bowed toward him, presumably offering devotion. A decorated lamp stand stands at the left edge. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.
