A man on the right sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned back, wearing orange robes, a red tilak on his forehead and a long dark hairstyle; a microphone stands before him. A bald man at left in orange robes with a purple-painted face holds open a sheet of paper and stands near an orange-draped chair. Two devotees in the foreground accept items from the seated figure: a woman in a cream sari with yellow border and a red hair tie sits at left, and a long-haired person in orange robes at center hands over a small box. Bottles of water, a fan, and stacks of books sit nearby, with a golden lion-form armrest on the throne.
