A seated figure in a rust-red robe with a rudraksha mala and gold necklace sits on a silver-backed throne with a leopard-print headwrap, while a bare-chested devotee in white dhoti kneels and touches his forehead to the seated man's feet. Two women in orange garments stand beside them; one bends forward with a white cloth, the other is in orange behind. Another person in white sari stands at the right edge. Ornate gold and silver decor frames the dais and a carved wooden pedestal stool sits in front. The seated figure matches the page's depiction of a person with cues of a leopard headwrap, long hair, and a rudraksha mala, though the identification is appearance-based. Five people are visible in the scene.
