A seated figure on a red cushioned throne draped with white, yellow and red flower garlands, wearing an orange-gold silk robe and an orange turban, raises a hand in blessing. A kneeling man in a white shirt and grey trousers, hands pressed together, bows toward him on a striped mat. Behind them, a seated and standing audience in white and checked clothes watches in a blue-walled hall decorated with festoon garlands. A brass oil lamp sits at the lower left. Behind the throne hangs a blue banner with large yellow Tamil lettering. This appears to be a satsang welcome with a devotee greeting a seated guru.
