A central figure in an orange-saffron robe with a beaded mala sits cross-legged and gestures outward while seated devotees in white dhotis and white shawls face him. Before them are brass puja plates, small bowls and offerings. Behind is a white-winged deity murti on a white draped stand, and a wall of colourful garments and garlands. The central man wears a saffron robe and mala but no crown, turban or ceremonial gold necklace, so his identity is uncertain; he is described by role only as a teacher leading satsang.
