Night outdoor courtyard session photographed under floodlight. A bearded man with long dark hair, wearing an orange kurta and brown trousers, sits cross-legged on an ornate silver-and-red throne with a small wooden box on his lap, beneath a multicoloured fringed parasol. A young woman in a teal and gold sari sits on the striped mat beside the throne, and a woman in a pink top stands behind it. A woman in orange robes stands at right. Several people in orange clothing sit or kneel in the foreground and on the left, with spectators watching from behind, and a standing fan and cooling units are visible at the edges. A chain-link fence and metal containers form the backdrop. The man on the throne has long swept-back hair and orange clothing, but his appearance is not distinctive enough to confirm identity, so this is a seated devotee-style figure rather than a confirmed identification.
