A seated man in reddish-brown saffron robes sits eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with carved lion heads and leopard-print cushions. He wears a pale pink and white flower garland, a vertical sandalwood-coloured forehead mark, and a gold chain with a shawl over one shoulder. Hanging brass bells and oil lamps frame the throne, and a deity murti with raised arms stands at the left edge. The throne is not occupied by a person identity since appearance cues are limited to garland and robes, so role described as seated teacher on peetha.
