A seated figure on a gold ornate throne is draped in a maroon turban with a silver emblem, a rust-coloured shawl, a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace and gold chains, with eyes lowered. Behind the throne is a large arch of marigolds and roses in yellow, orange, purple and red, with silver umbrellas at the sides. A tiger-skin cloth covers the dais, and a golden lion-head stand sits at the left. A second person in orange-saffron robes kneels at the right, holding and offering something in cupped hands at the figure's lap. The setting resembles a satsang or darshan on a raised peetha.
