A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with arched carved backrest and lion-like figures, smiling, wearing a red-maroon draped garment over one shoulder, a long gold bead necklace, gold armlets and bangles, and a red bindi. Hands rest folded in his lap. Beside the throne stand gold lamps topped with birds and a potted floral arrangement against a deep blue curtain. Two blurred heads of audience members are visible at the lower right. The appearance is consistent with a person seated in a teaching role on the throne, based on the gold necklace and ceremonial red garments.
