A seated man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate red and gold throne, raising one hand in a blessing gesture with a rudraksha mala around his neck. Behind him is a gilded shrine with a large deity murti of a male and female figure adorned with pink and yellow flower garlands, a central lingam with a golden nagas canopy, and a yellow-robed devotee statue in a blue-curtained niche to the right. Brass oil lamps and flower offerings sit on the shrine ledge, and a water bottle rests on a draped table at left. The setting appears to be a temple hall during a satsang gathering. Swamiji (probable): the seated man wears saffron robes, an orange turban and a rudraksha mala on a throne, appearance-based label only.
