A standing man in an orange turban and orange-and-gold silk drape stands at left, holding a clear glass or crystal object in his outstretched hand while his eyes are closed. He wears a gold necklace with a large pendant, a brown beaded mala, and a gold bracelet. At right, a gilded arched shrine (prabhavali) frames a seated deity murti in orange and gold clothing, garlanded with white, red and yellow flower garlands and a green cloth backdrop, on a gold-covered pedestal. Red drapes hang behind, with a pale wall and an air cooler at right. Looks like a satsang or puja setting.
