Indoor satsang or ritual setting on a tiled stage before a dark maroon curtain and an empty ornate orange velvet throne. A bare-headed man in white dhoti and shawl sits cross-legged on a white cloth with palms pressed together in prayer, a gold chain around his neck and white markings on his chest and arm. To his left, a man in orange robes sits on an orange mat beside a brass bowl and a microphone stand. On the right, a woman in a cream sari with a yellow border sits with hands folded, a dark mala around her neck. Two small cups sit on banana leaves on the floor, and a fan stands at the back left. The white-clad man shows no distinctive a person cues such as long hair, crown, saffron or rudraksha, so identity is uncertain.
