A figure in an orange saffron robe and orange head covering sits cross-legged on an ornate golden throne with a lion-carved base, palms pressed together in greeting. Garlands of white, yellow, pink and green flowers hang over the throne and across the seated figure's shoulders. Behind the throne, a stage backdrop is decorated with striped white and purple arches, gold trim, and a rangoli-style flower motif in yellow and maroon, with a painted column at left. A golden trident stands to the right of the throne, and fans are mounted at the sides. The label on the image reads a person seated on the peetha as the presiding figure of a Gurupoornima event, identified by the throne, garlands and orange robe rather than by face.
