A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a long pole topped by a trident-like finial behind him, wearing a large multicoloured flower garland, a dark patterned wrap, and a tilak on the forehead, receives attention from devotees on a blue carpet. A bald man in a white kurta with an orange shawl kneels holding a brass tray of lamps and flowers. Seated devotees in saffron and orange shawls surround brass plates of petals and offerings, and another throne is visible in the background. Aside from the central figure's appearance, the scene shows a formal satsang-style gathering.
