A seated figure on a red cushioned throne is reading a small printed booklet held in both hands. He wears an orange-red shawl draped over the body, a long row of large rudraksha beads around the neck, and a horizontal white tilak on the forehead, with hair tied in a bun. Facing him, a man in a white shirt and trousers stands bent forward with palms pressed together in namaste, a wristwatch and bracelet visible. Behind them are a golden ornate backdrop, green leaves and yellow flowers, and a metal trident staff. A woman in a cream sari with a dark shawl stands at right. The figure's appearance is consistent with a person through the orange shawl, rudraksha mala and bun, presented as the seated teacher receiving a devotee.
