A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and a red-orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a beaded curtain behind it, on a stage before a banner. A small gold lamp and oil lamps are lit on a low wooden stand in front, and trays of flowers and offerings sit on the floor. Beside the throne, a large circular portrait shows a smiling man in an orange turban and orange robe with a rudraksha mala, and a backdrop panel displays garlanded deity images. The seated figure wears an orange dhoti-style garment, a gold necklace and red bangles, with the hands resting in front. The scene reads as a satsang stage set for a Bhagavad Gita discourse during a Diwali celebration, with the seated figure appearing to be Swamiji (probable) given the saffron robe, orange turban, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, though the appearance is not fully certain.
