A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a richly carved golden backrest and a central oval medallion. He wears a long strand of gold beads, a gold necklace, and a white-and-red forehead marking, and raises a brass hand bell with his right hand while his left rests on the armrest. A white cloth with black tiger-stripe pattern and a tiger face covers the dais in front of him, and a brass oil lamp hangs from a chain at upper left. The setting suggests a satsang seat, though no crowd is visible.
