A seated figure in an orange robe and orange head wrap sits on an ornate gilded throne with a red backdrop, hands pressed together in greeting, wearing a purple flower garland and rudraksha beads. Around him, six devotees sit on the floor in a covered open-sided pavilion: a woman in a red sari with gold necklace joins her palms, a man in white kurta and a person in blue swastika-patterned shirt face the throne, and a woman in white with hair in a braid bows. Gold lion-form supports flank the seat, with books and a laptop on a side table and a fan nearby.
