Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical, rectangular painting framed by a gold patterned border. At the center, a large figure is depicted seated cross-legged on a multi-layered lotus-like pedestal with red, blue, and green petals. The figure has light green skin, dark hair, and wears flowing orange robes. A circular green disc encircles the figure's head, and a larger, concentric orange ring with a blue outer ring surrounds the body, all set against a backdrop of white clouds. The central figure is encompassed by a landscape filled with numerous smaller figures and various scenes. Green hills and various trees, some with dark green foliage and others with lighter green, define the terrain. In the upper left, figures are seen climbing trees and walking along a path with animals. The upper right features a large, ornate building with an orange roof, where many figures are gathered, some seated and others standing. Throughout the mid-sections, on both sides of the central figure, more groups of figures engage in diverse activities, some seated, some standing, and some interacting with smaller structures or animals. The lower section includes a smaller figure seated on a raised platform within an ornate structure, surrounded by additional figures, some riding white elephants or horses, and others interacting with each other. Light blue clouds and water elements are interspersed throughout the green landscape. The predominant colors are shades of green, orange, red, and light blue, with accents of white and gold.
