A central figure sits on an ornate brown leather throne-style chair, wearing a saffron-orange garment with gold trim and a long rudraksha-style mala necklace, with a pale bracelet on one wrist, holding a small wooden stick. A tall silver-tipped staff stands beside the chair, and a water bottle and an electronic device sit on a low table in front.
