A seated figure on a richly decorated golden throne draped with long garlands of white, yellow, red and purple flowers is smiling while wearing a bright pink sari-style garment, gold necklaces and a gold chain. A man in a white kurta bends forward to place a garland around the seated figure's neck, with his hands at the figure's knees. Behind them a woman in a red top stands near the throne, and at left a man in a white kurta and dark-beaded mala stands with palms pressed together in greeting before a dark blue curtain. The scene suggests a ceremonial honouring at a satsang setting; the seated figure's appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and ornate pink clothing, and the bending man is a devotee offering a garland.
