A seated figure in an orange-saffron turban and orange robes with a gold-bordered dhoti sits on an ornate golden throne, holding an open blue-covered book or folder toward seated visitors. A long rudraksha-style mala hangs over his shoulder. Before him, a bald man in dark-rimmed glasses and a white dotted shirt leans in, and another bald man in glasses and an orange robe with a red-beaded mala listens. Behind them, gold-leaf painted panels show deities including an elephant-headed figure on a mount and a goddess on a lion. A golden lion-headed carving sits on the lower dais, and a silver staff rests at left. Partially visible heads of other seated attendees are at the bottom edge of the frame.
