A seated woman with long dark hair and a red bindi sits on an ornate gold-and-crimson throne with carved golden lion-form armrests, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a red-and-white beaded mala, smiling warmly. Around her, several monastics in orange robes and rudraksha malas sit or kneel on the floor, some with palms pressed together in greeting and applause. A tall white floor fan and a potted green plant sit in the foreground, with a deep red velvet curtain behind the throne.
