A seated man in a rust-red saffron robe sits on an ornate silver-framed red throne, raising his right hand in a teaching gesture while his left hand rests open at his lap. He wears a thick gold necklace of beads with a large gold pendant, a red thread on his wrist, and a red-and-black tilak mark on his forehead, with long dark hair swept back. Before him, a silver ornate lectern stands at left. Around him, many people sit closely on the floor in orange and white clothing, some bare-chested, several with white and orange ritual markings, and some with white cloth wraps. The hall has pale walls and an orange panel in the background.
