A seated figure in an orange saffron robe with a rudraksha mala sits in a gilded throne with red cushions, hands joined in namaskar, before a stage set with floral garlands. Behind him, deity murtis draped in marigold and rose garlands are arranged on gold stands, with a golden umbrella overhead and temple-pillar backdrop. A microphone stands at the front. The clear cues of a rudraksha mala, saffron robe and ceremonial gold throne are consistent with the presiding teacher, described as a person. Another person in white sits to the right near the murtis.
