A seated figure in a dark turban and rust-coloured wrap, wearing a red, blue and white flower garland and gold necklace, sits on a leopard-print throne beside a gold lion-head finial and a silver trident. Their right hand rests on the shoulder of a man with curly grey hair and glasses, wearing a white shirt and an orange-trimmed garment, who holds a small paper slip. Behind them stand gold-decorated shrine elements and garlanded deity figures. The scene suggests a darshan or blessing exchange. The person on the throne has only a plausible appearance match to the named teacher and cannot be confirmed from appearance alone, so identity is uncertain.
