A seated man in a rust-orange and gold dhoti-style garment with a gold-yellow shawl wears a rudraksha mala and a white flower garland, and rests his hands in a gesture of teaching in front of him on a large ornate golden throne with a canopy. Two large painted dvarapala-style guardian figures with four arms, red-and-green lower garments and gold ornaments flank him. At the lower left, two women with covered heads and white cloth sit before microphones at a lectern with lit oil lamps. The setting is a temple-like hall with a deep maroon curtain at right. The seated figure is presented with cues associated with a person: a rudraksha mala, a ceremonial gold necklace and ornate throne seating.
