A man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, palms pressed together in namaste, eyes closed. He wears a flowing saffron-orange robe and a white and red flower garland, with a red bindi on his forehead. The gold throne has a red velvet seat and carved backrest. Around him, several devotees in white and yellow clothing sit on the floor with brass plates of offerings, and a seated man in white with an orange shawl has hands folded. Behind are a carved stone pillar, orange draped cloth, a fruit and flower offering tray, and a red metal gate. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan setting.
