A bearded man in red-maroon robes sits cross-legged on a raised platform, smiling broadly. He wears a maroon turban with a jewelled ornament, a long rudraksha-style mala and a heavy gold necklace with a large pendant, and gold armlets. A striped tiger-print cloth and a leopard-print cloth lie beneath him. Beside him is a large polished brass bull statue (Nandi) with a silver-toned harness, and a small trident in his hand. A tall gold trident stands at the right edge. Behind him a large audience sits in a bright hall with white draped walls; many people are visible, including women in saris and men in light shirts.
