A seated figure in an orange robe with long dark hair and a leopard-print shawl sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushions, a microphone before him, in a staged hall with a painted temple backdrop showing a deity murti garlanded with flowers. A man in orange sits at the lower left with hands folded in namaste, while a group of devotees in white dhotis, saris and yellow or blue garments sit on orange and patterned mats, several with hands folded. A brass kalasha-style lamp stands at the front and a hanging red and blue textile decorates the upper right. The scene resembles a seated satsang or discourse with puja offerings on the floor.
