A man with long swept-back dark hair sits cross-legged in meditation on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing an orange saffron dhoti and a leopard-print top, with a long orange-and-black beaded mala around his neck; he is a probable Swamiji by these cues. Seated on the floor in front, a woman in a yellow-bordered white sari and a woman in a cream sari with hair down attend to brass plates containing red flowers. Other seated attendees in orange and white clothing are visible in the foreground. A white board with handwritten diagrams stands at right, a pedestal table holds apples and flowers, and a fan sits behind.
