A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a bare-chested drape sits on an ornate gilded throne with red tiger-striped cushions, reading a folded paper held in both hands. A shaved-headed man in a white shirt leans in beside him to offer or receive the note. A forest tree backdrop with fabric foliage surrounds the scene, and a few other people are partly visible at the edges. A white tripundra mark is visible on the seated figure's forehead. The seated figure shows distinctive saffron robes and a swept-back hairstyle, but the appearance is not clear enough to confirm identity.
