A seated figure in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste, speaking into a microphone on a stand. A gold-framed deity murti stands at right, richly dressed in gold and embroidered garments with a tall crown, flanked by smaller attendant figures, under a gold canopy. A tall brass lamp stand and an ornamental umbrella hang beside them, and a carved relief of a multi-armed deity with a trident stands behind the throne on a red-draped stage. The figure's appearance is consistent with the satsang speaker described on the page, but this is uncertain from the visible features alone.
