A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, raising one hand in greeting toward a devotee. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold chain. Standing before him, a woman in orange garments with a white flower garland raises her palms in respect. A man in white with an orange sash at left holds a brass vessel, and other people stand at the edges. An orange cloth canopy hangs behind the scene, with a white wall and window at right. The figure's appearance is consistent with the a person candidate, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha beads, but the identification is uncertain, so he is described by role as the seated teacher.

Her hands rest on the seated figure's shoulders and chest, while an orange-clad attendant behind holds a ceremonial lamp. Orange drapery hangs beside the throne, a framed picture of a seated saint hangs above, and a tray of flowers and offerings sits at lower left. The seated figure appears to be a life-size statue, not a living person, so no a person cue is confirmed in person. Three orange-clad people are visible, two partially at the edges.2009-07-07
