A seated man sits on an ornate gold throne (peetha) with carved panels and red cushions, centred under a green leaf-and-marigold arch. He wears a maroon silk kurta with gold embroidery, a gold chain, a white-and-multicolour flower garland, and a striped dhoti. Long hair swept back, he has a red tilak on his forehead and is barefoot. Marigold and purple flower strands hang from the pale green draped backdrop; brass oil lamps (lamps) flank the throne, with flower vases in front. Around him, a man in white dhoti with yellow shawl and another in orange robe sit on the floor at left, and a woman in white and a seated man in white sit at right, listening in a satsang setting. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a red tilak, a gold necklace and a garland, and sits on the throne in maroon ceremonial dress.
