A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a red undergarment and a long rudraksha-style mala sits on a red and gold throne-style chair with a red zebra-print cushion, receiving a respectful gesture from an older man in white kurta and white dhoti who bends forward with joined hands clasped around the seated figure's hand. A small child in white with a pink hair clip bows her head in front of the seated figure. A green-clad woman is partly visible at the left edge. A digital clock reading 9:00, a stack of books, a water bottle and a white-draped table sit nearby.
