A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-maroon throne with a gold lion-headed armrest extends one arm forward in blessing, wearing a tiger-striped saffron garment, layered beaded necklaces, a large pink and red flower garland and bangles. A man in white dhoti and shawl with a red waistband raises both hands toward him. Behind them a woman in a white and gold sari wears a rudraksha mala, a man in a pink-orange robe with a camera stands among other seated attendees, and a gold kalasha-like vessel sits near the throne. Printed white caption reads 'a person' context is not printed; the figure shows long swept hair, ornate tiger-striped saffron clothing and rudraksha-style adornments, consistent with a seated spiritual leader giving darshan.
