A seated guru on an ornate gold throne with a tiger-skin cushion, wearing a maroon turban, saffron-orange dhoti and a beaded mala with a pendant. A man in a blue shirt and dark trousers sits on a white sofa at right holding a microphone and speaking. At left, an elderly bearded sadhu in saffron-orange robes sits on a white sofa, and another person in orange is partly visible behind him. A large golden lamp hangs above the throne; a trident stands beside it and brass oil lamps are on the stage. The backdrop is a painted image of Lord Shiva holding a trident, with rudraksha beads and a snake, against a red and pink mountain scene. Marigold garlands rest on a small table. The scene suggests a satsang question-and-answer session on stage.
