A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and red velvet cushions, hands folded in his lap, speaking during a discourse. He wears a cream turban with a jewelled brooch, a white dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala across his chest and beaded bracelets on his wrists and arms. Behind him stand painted deity murtis with raised hands and orange-red dhotis. A small red bindi marks his forehead. The throne's gilded backrest and a lion figure at each side frame him. The page does not indicate a person is present, and his appearance alone is not enough to identify him, so the figure is described by role as a seated speaker.
