A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on a gold-and-red throne with a floral garland draped over its back. Several women in saris crowd close, one in a red blouse with raised hands, another in a green sari with yellow motifs. A man in a white shirt and grey trousers leans in to touch the seated figure's head. Another person in an orange robe stands at right, and a red-orange backdrop with a painted forest scene fills the background. The seated figure's appearance matches the page's cues of long hair, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, so this is a person in person receiving devotees on a throne; the orange-robed figure at right is a monastic attendant.
