A bearded man with a white tilak on his forehead and long dark hair sits cross-legged on a tiger-striped cloth draped over a seat, dressed in a rust-red robe and layered rudraksha malas with gold ornaments. He raises both hands with palms open in front of his chest and smiles. Behind him stand two painted, life-sized statues of a deity with orange skin, red dhoti and gold jewellery, each holding a ritual implement, in front of a carved wooden door. A tall purple-handled staff with a leopard-print cloth hangs at left. A brass figure sits on the ledge in front. The scene suggests a stage discourse or temple-style setting.
