A seated man in a rust-red saffron-toned robe sits on a tiger-skin-covered seat in front of a painted temple backdrop. He wears a rudraksha-style bead mala across his chest, layered necklaces, bangles on his wrists and forearms, and has a tilak on his forehead; his long hair falls behind his shoulders. To his left stands a silver trident with a small damaru drum and a leopard-print cloth hanging from it, beside a dark red curtain. Behind him a painted deity murti with multiple arms and a crown stands against ornate pillars in orange, pink and green. The scene looks like a staged satsang or discourse setting.
