A seated teacher in a red and saffron robe sits cross-legged on a red-cushioned throne with a tall red and gold backrest, holding a small stick, with a microphone on a stand before him. Around him, rows of students sit on the floor: boys in white dhoti-style cloth with gold borders and rudraksha necklaces, some with orange turbans, and girls and young women in orange and gold saris and salwars. A bald adult in white with rudraksha is seated near the front. A white standing fan and a banner panel are behind the stage. The scene reads as a gurukul teaching session.
