A man seated on an ornate gilded throne with a red cushioned seat and a cobra-hood canopy stands before a large red and orange painted mural of multi-armed deities and a central goddess figure. He sits with eyes closed and palms pressed together in namaste, wearing an orange-red dhoti and upper cloth, a sandalwood tilak on his forehead, and a long rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders. Red velvet bolsters flank the throne, and a brass kalasha and a tray of fruit and flowers rest at the base. Seated on the throne, he is the only person visible.

A bearded man in a rust-brown turban and matching brown robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and a cobra-hood canopy, a silver trident planted beside him. He wears a pink-and-white flower garland, a heavy gold necklace, and beaded bangles, and speaks into a microphone on a stand. A gold-leaf backdrop and a painted image of a four-armed deity with rudraksha malas fill the background, and a small side table holds a red object. Swamiji (probable): the turban, brown robe, gold necklace and throne cues are distinctive, so this is the satsang speaker seated in a discourse setting.2016-11-11 +1 copiesJune 21 20162016-06-21A seated man in orange saffron robes with a gold border sits before an ornate gold-embossed backdrop and a deep red velvet throne cushion.

Behind him a large painted deity murti with four arms, rudraksha beads and a leopard-skin seat is set against gold foliage and red drapes, with a smaller painted devotee figure with folded hands at left.
