A golden ornate canopy with carved gold pillars stands on a floor covered in marigold petals. Beneath it on a carved wooden stand is a large framed portrait of a smiling woman with long dark hair, a red bindi and a red-and-orange garment, beside a stack of books with orange covers. Several books lie scattered on the petals in front. Behind the canopy are orange and gold sculpted forms, a potted plant with green lighting, and maroon drapes. A brass oil lamp sits at the left edge, and a man with long hair in a light garment is partly visible at the far left.
