The image depicts several figures in a circular composition against a cloud-filled background. In the center, a figure is shown levitating with arms outstretched. Their face is partly obscured by an aura, with visible features of a bearded visage and long hair. Surrounding this central figure are two seated individuals draped in robes holding tablet-like objects. In the lower portion, three figures are shown in kneeling or seated poses with bowed or turned heads, clothed in robes. The background features swirling clouds.
