A seated figure in an orange robe and orange beaded mala sits in meditation on an ornate gold throne with a crown-shaped canopy, decorated with marigold and yellow flower garlands and trident-topped finials. Before him, a group of about a dozen devotees sit cross-legged on an orange mat: women in white and green saris, men in white dhotis, and a young girl in orange. Brass oil lamps and offering plates sit on the stage in front, and a laptop is open on the mat. Blue drapery forms the backdrop, with an orange banner at the top left.
