A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe sits cross-legged with hands joined in his lap and eyes closed, on a low red-and-brown cushion on a stage. Behind him rises an ornate silver throne with scrolled and floral carvings, flanked by leopard-print cushions. A tall silver staff stands to the left, and several white spotlight beams converge above him in a hazy stage setting with incense-like smoke. He wears a gold pendant necklace and beaded malas. Wrapped in a green-trimmed, brown and gold emblem overlay, the scene suggests a meditation or initiation session. Background dark red curtains frame the hall. One person is visible.
