Seated on a gilded golden throne with a red cushion is a figure in a white turban, orange and gold garments, gold armlets and bangles, raising one hand in discourse. Eight to ten devotees sit cross-legged on a red-patterned mat facing the throne: a man in a checked shirt, a man in a red striped polo, women in teal, blue floral saree and orange-bordered white, and a man in a white shirt. A brass lamp stands beside the throne next to a basket of red fruit and a small tablet. The figure on the throne appears to be a candidate for a person, based on the turban, orange and gold ornate clothing and gold ornaments, and the seated discourse setting.
