A seated figure on an ornate golden throne with a brown leather seat is the central subject, eyes closed in meditation. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned cloth draped over the shoulders, a heavy multi-strand gold necklace with a large pendant, gold armlets and bangles, a rudraksha-style beaded band across the forehead, dark locks of hair, and a crescent ornament at the crown. A tall gold trident stands at left and a small brass kalasha-style vessel appears at lower left. Behind him, a large seated crowd fills the hall under white fabric canopies with tassel hangings, many people in white and orange clothing. A Yamaha keyboard and microphone sit at lower right.
