A man sits cross-legged with eyes closed on an ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with a large arch of marigold and white flower garlands in yellow, red, purple and white. He wears a saffron-orange robe and shawl, a heavy gold necklace with large beads, and a black headband with a gold ornament and red bindi. His hands rest together in his lap. Red velvet cushions flank him, and a dark blue curtain forms the backdrop. Dark silhouettes of audience heads appear at the bottom edge. Several devotees appear as blurred silhouettes at the bottom edge, so the count is uncertain.
