A smiling bearded man with long dreadlocks sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with carved peacock-like side panels and a leopard-print cushion. He wears a rust-orange unstitched cloth wrap over the body, a red thread on his wrist, a green leaf garland around the waist, and a white forehead marking with a red dot. He holds a white cup with a red-patterned design in one hand and rests the other on his knee. Papers and white and red flowers lie on the throne's base in front. Gold ceremonial ornaments and a gilded finial fill the background. The orange-clad figure with dreadlocks and a grand throne suggests a person, seated in a satsang setting.
