A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a saffron turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion and animal figures and red cushions, wearing a pink and white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant. Behind the throne a blue deity figure with multiple arms holds ceremonial objects beneath gold foliage, and a red curtain hangs behind. A golden trident stands at left. Several dozen devotees sit on the floor in front of the platform, including a bare-chested man at left, women in saris and kurtas, and a few people in light clothing at right; a small flame glows at the bottom edge. The scene resembles a satsang or pada puja setting.
