A smiling man with long dark hair and a red bindi stands in front of a gilded throne-like seat decorated with dense garlands of red, orange, yellow and white flowers. He wears a violet silk dhoti with a red-and-gold border, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, and raises one hand in a blessing gesture. Behind him stands a deity murti dressed in an orange cloth with a crown, garlanded with flowers and holding a staff. Gold tassels hang from the throne frame, a brass lamp stands at right, and a tablet rests on a red cloth at lower right. The man's appearance with long hair, violet and gold silk and rudraksha beads is a person in a seated-in-front-of-deity setting, consistent with a satsang event.
