A seated man in a leopard-print shawl and orange dhoti sits cross-legged on a gold-trimmed platform in front of a painted blue and gold backdrop. He wears a rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklaces, has white marks on his forehead and arms, and a red bindi with a tiered topknot. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture. A black kalasha-style pot sits to his left and a brass lamp stand is at the edge of the frame. Appearance cues are insufficient to name the seated figure, so his role is described only as a seated speaker or teacher giving a blessing.
