A photograph of an indoor audience scene. A figure in orange and saffron robes with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate golden throne with a golden lion-head armrest and a tiger-skin cushion, leaning forward as an older man in white shirt and white dhoti, with glasses and a grey beard, reaches out to touch the throne-seated figure's hand. Seated in red chairs to the left are men in white and dark clothes listening. Behind the throne stands a deity murti draped in garlands of orange, yellow and purple flowers, with two standing men in white dhotis and rudraksha malas beside a standing figure in orange robes and a shaved head. A wall-mounted air conditioner and a red-carpeted floor complete the room.
