A bearded man seated on an ornate golden throne with an elaborately carved gilded backdrop, wearing a tall golden crown with a red and white tilak-style band, blue-painted forehead markings and a red bindi. He is bare-chested beneath a brown and orange shawl, with layered gold necklaces, a green and black beaded mala, and gold armbands. He raises his right hand in a blessing gesture and smiles. Figures of deities are carved on the throne panels behind him. The distinctive crown, ceremonial gold ornaments and throne suggest the a person figure, appearing in person as a presiding teacher during a darshan.
