A seated figure in an orange robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) before a microphone stand, with a pale draped backdrop and a red pillar painting behind. Two devotees kneel in front of him: one in a white kurta with an orange shawl holds a stack of books, while the other in orange robes presses his hands together and reaches toward the stack. At the right edge a seated man in white with a yellow shawl and glasses watches. A small table holds books and a flower-decorated object, and an orange cushioned chair and a black bag sit at left. The figure on the throne has long dark hair and wears an orange garment and a bare chest, which is a distinctive appearance cue, so this is a person seated in person receiving books.
