Brief Description
A central seated figure in orange and red robes, surrounded by many smaller figures
Detailed Description
A large central figure is seated cross-legged on a multi-petaled, flower-like seat. This figure has light skin, a shaved head, and large ears, wearing an orange and red robe with hands in a gesture near their chest. Behind the central figure, a large red circular glow is encircled by a green and blue circular glow. The central figure and these glows are set against a dark blue background, which is framed by a red border. On either side of the central figure, within the dark blue background, are rows of smaller, seated figures. There are approximately 10 rows on each side, with 2 figures per row, totaling about 40 smaller figures. These figures are also seated, wearing robes, and have circular glows behind their heads. They are depicted in various colors, mostly red, orange, and yellow robes, against a blue background. Below the central figure's seat, a decorative base features two white elephants facing inwards. Along the bottom edge of the painting, below this base, is another row of approximately 15 to 20 smaller, seated figures. This row includes figures with varying attire, gestures, some with multiple arms, and different skin tones. They are set against a dark background with green and blue elements. The entire painting is bordered by a narrow red and blue decorative band. The primary colors used are red, blue, orange, and green.
