A figure seated on a gilded throne with a white flower on the head, a long rudraksha-style necklace and a multicolour flower garland, wearing an orange robe, touches the side of his head while speaking. Beside the throne stands a golden lion-shaped finial and a tiger-striped cushion. A woman in white with an orange shawl and a rudraksha mala leans toward him with hands clasped. A younger woman in purple and red with a red shawl stands nearby, and a bald man in white sits at the lower left. Several women in white clothes and a man with white hair stand in the background, some smiling. A camera on a tripod is visible at the top.
