A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits in a carved wooden throne with cushioned armrests before a red draped curtain, hands pressed together in namaste. A woman in a white sari kneels on blue carpet holding a lit oil lamp toward him, with flower petals and small offerings nearby. Around them, seated devotees in blue-green surgical caps and white clothing listen, including a man in a striped green-and-white shirt and a woman in purple. Decorative woven textiles hang on the side walls, and armchairs and a keyboard are at the left. The scene resembles a satsang or aarti in a relief-camp hall.
