A horizontally oriented tempera painting depicts the blue-skinned god Krishna seated on a yellow throne in the center, a green halo framing his head. Groups of men with long beards and light to medium skin tones sit on either side, one holding a stringed instrument. In the foreground, four small figures sit. Behind them, a dark lake with lotus flowers rests before rolling green hills dotted with white structures under a cloudy blue sky.
