A seated man in a rust-red turban with a small crescent emblem and a red bindi sits on an ornate gilded throne with a carved hooded serpent canopy and lion-shaped armrests, draped in a rose-pink robe and layered rudraksha malas with a large gold ceremonial necklace and gold pendant. He rests his hands in meditative mudra on leopard-print cushions, eyes lowered and a faint smile. Behind him a red-and-yellow painted deity backdrop with multiple hands is visible. A person's hand and green cloth appear at the lower left edge. The throne suggests a satsang or discourse setting.
