A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a long rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red striped cushions, wearing a white-and-orange floral garland and a red bindi.

A woman in an orange sari with a white flower garland sits at lower left, and other partially visible people in orange sit at the bottom edge. A white-draped table holds stacked books, and the room has beige walls.
