Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a central, large figure seated cross-legged on an elaborate, multi-tiered throne. The figure wears red robes and a red hat, with hands in a gesture, holding a small object. A light blue halo encircles the head, and a larger red aura surrounds the body. The throne is adorned with flowers and foliage. Above the central figure, at the top center, a smaller red-skinned being with multiple arms is depicted amidst clouds and flowers. To the upper left and right, two smaller robed figures, each with a light blue halo, are seated on clouds. Flanking the central figure, at mid-left and mid-right, are two more smaller robed figures, each with a green halo, seated on the ground. In the lower section, at the bottom center, a blue-skinned, multi-armed figure is seated on a pedestal, surrounded by red flames. To the bottom left and right, two additional smaller robed figures, each with a light blue halo, are seated on the ground. The background features a blue sky with clouds and a small moon or star at the top, transitioning to green and blue mountains, trees, and numerous flowering plants throughout the middle and lower sections. The entire composition is framed by a dark blue border.
