In the foreground a bald man in white dhoti with gold border and rudraksha mala gestures toward a seated figure at right. That seated figure wears a saffron-orange turban and saffron-orange shawl, adorned with gold bangles and a rudraksha-style mala, seated on a gold-edged throne draped in red fabric beside a garland-decorated pillar with marigold and rose garlands.
