A seated man with closed eyes and a broad smile sits on a golden throne, almost completely buried under heaps of flower petals and garlands. He wears a pink and gold turban with a red bindi. Pink rose petals and white jasmine petals pile on his lap and chest, while red, orange and white garlands frame him behind. A hand from the right holds a wicker basket pouring petals, and yellow marigolds lie in the foreground. The scene reads as a flower-shower honouring a person seated at a satsang.
