A seated man in an orange robe and leopard-print shawl sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion, hands joined, facing a group of devotees. In front of the throne, a gold tray holds silver bowls with apples, fruit, flowers and small lamps. Around the tray kneel people in white dhotis, orange robes and a yellow-and-white sari, some holding small cups or bowls, a man with a white forehead mark and rudraksha mala among them. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in orange and white sits near a microphone stand, and a white screen and a fan stand in the background. On the right edge, a whiteboard with handwritten letters is visible. This looks like a satsang gathering with offerings. The image is a photograph, and the orange-robed figure on the throne is an appearance-based candidate.
