A seated figure in a red-orange turban and matching saffron-red robe sits on an ornate gold-carved throne with red velvet cushions and gold lion-head armrests. A red-and-white garland hangs around the figure's neck. A man in a white shirt kneels before the throne, reaching out with cupped hands to receive bananas being offered from the throne-sitter's hands. A silver tray of bananas sits in the foreground. Behind them, a woman in an orange sari, a young girl in white with a braid, and others in white stand on a red carpet in a hall with a wall air conditioner and a stage area to the right. The figure is presented as a person based on the turban, saffron robe and garland, seated in the role of teacher receiving devotion.
