A seated man in a sky-blue robe and multiple white and pearl beaded necklaces sits on an ornate gold and red velvet throne, with long swept-back dark hair and a red bindi, gesturing with one hand. Around him, several shaven-headed men in white ritual cloth sit on the floor with raised hands, and some hold small objects. Two tall brass oil lamps stand on either side of the throne, and flowers and fruit are arranged on a tray in the foreground. Behind the scene is a painted backdrop of red pillars and temple-like architecture. A discourse or satsang setting is visible. The man on the throne has long hair, a crown-less head, saffron-free sky-blue dress and distinctive pearl and rudraksha-style necklaces, consistent with the Swamiji (probable) cues; the seated men are devotees in white.
