A man with long dark hair and a trident-marked forehead sits cross-legged on a tiger-skin-draped seat in front of a large wooden door, framed by painted temple-style columns and two painted deity statues in orange and pink with gold crowns. He wears a rust-red robe, multi-strand rudraksha mala and gold necklace, and beaded bracelets. A silver trident with a leopard-print cloth stands to his left, and a small brass ceremonial vessel sits near the seat. The setting resembles a staged temple discourse.
