A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands folded, in front of a brick-patterned backdrop with balloons and garlands. Four people kneel in white dhotis and shawls before him: two shaved-headed men on the left, a bare-headed man in the centre with palms joined, and two women on the right, one in white with a yellow border. Offering trays with flowers and small items sit on a gold stand below the throne. A microphone stands on the right. The man on the throne has long hair and distinctive saffron robes and mala, a probable match for a person in the role of seated teacher, but the appearance cues are only partly distinctive.
