A man seated on a throne with red cushions and a red cloth draped behind him wears an orange-red garment, a red-and-orange shawl-like wrap over the shoulders, and multi-strand red beaded necklaces; a red bindi is on his forehead. The throne is decorated with a garland of yellow, orange, purple and green flowers. In front of him is a white pedestal with a few small offerings, and oil lamps stand nearby. On the left, a large golden deity murti with a garland is visible. Several women sit cross-legged on the orange floor in orange, white, green and beige saris, with small brass plates in front of them, facing the throne. A child in the foreground looks on. The seated figure has distinctive long swept-back hair and ornate red-and-gold adornments consistent with a person presence, seated as the teacher.
