A smiling man sits cross-legged on a richly carved golden throne with an arched backrest decorated with ornate floral and lion motifs. He wears a red and maroon turban with a peacock-eye ornament and a red bindi, an orange-saffron dhoti-style garment, a long red and gold beaded mala necklace with a large round pendant, and gold armbands. His right hand is raised in a gesture while he speaks. A purple and pink painted backdrop with a glowing sky stands behind him. The setting suggests a seated discourse or satsang.
