A man stands barefoot on a patterned rug before a golden throne flanked by two gilded lion sculptures and decorated with gold-accented red cushions. He wears a reddish-brown dhoti with gold borders, a yellow and green flower garland, a multi-strand gold necklace, gold armbands and a red bindi, arms raised with palms open and a broad smile. Above him hang colourful tasseled lanterns in red, gold, blue and purple, and tassels in pink, orange and green decorate the arches. The scene reads as a ceremonial welcome in an ashram-style hall, with a red velvet canopy overhead.
