A seated man in deep meditation sits on an ornate throne on a red-carpeted stage in front of a golden Nandi bull statue. He wears a maroon turban, a red-and-orange shawl, a long white and orange flower garland, rudraksha beads and gold jewellery, with bangles on his wrists. A gold trident stands at his left and several gold tridents flank the throne. Behind him, a large projected flame blazes across a dark backdrop with a painted Shiva figure and smoke in the air. One visible man is seated; statues and projected imagery are not counted as people. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the seated figure, given the turban, shawl, garland, rudraksha beads and throne cues.
