A seated man in a rust-red sleeveless robe with long dreadlocked hair and a white forehead mark sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and carved lion armrest, holding a small gold handheld object near a bowed head. Around him several people in white clothes and rust-red shawls and rudraksha malas sit cross-legged on a pale floor, with hands joined in prayer or seated attentively. A tall brass lamp stands at the back of the hall beside wooden cabinets. The setting appears to be an ashram satsang or ritual session.
