A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits smiling on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands raised in front of him. A priest in saffron stands at left holding a tiered brass aarti lamp with many lit oil lamps, offering aarti. Two devotees sit in the foreground, one in white. A red banner behind shows a portrait of a smiling woman in a red turban and the partial word "akend" with "DWAR" beneath. The man has a vertical tilak on his forehead; the image resembles a satsang or aarti setting, and the seated man's identity is appearance-based only: the presentation includes saffron robes, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, so this is a person in the throne setting.
