A seated man in an orange-brown robe and yellow dhoti sits on an ornate gold throne with a carved lion-head armrest and a tiger-striped cloth draped over the seat. He wears a red, yellow and white flower garland, a rudraksha-style mala and gold bracelets, and rests his hand on the armrest. Before him, several women in white and red saris kneel with palms pressed together beside brass thalis of flowers, fruit and offerings. Brass oil lamps and hanging bells stand around the throne against a black wall with a wall air conditioner. Sign text overlays the photo; the image appears to be an archive photograph of a satsang or puja setting.

A figure seated on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-head arms and a tiger-skin cushion, wearing a rust-orange dhoti and matching upper cloth with a long red, yellow and white flower garland and a rudraksha-style beaded necklace. Brass oil lamps hang and stand around the throne against a black backdrop. Before the throne, silver thalis piled with flowers and offerings sit on a tray. Four women kneel and sit with palms pressed together in devotion: one in white with a white-clothed head, one in a red sari with a forehead mark, one in white, and one in orange at the right edge. A wall air conditioner is visible at upper right. The seated figure appears to match a person by his long swept hair, ornate gold throne, garland and orange robes, so this is a satsang-style darshan setting.2013-05-11August 04 20132013-08-04May 11 20132013-05-11September 08 20132013-09-08 +1 copiesA man with long swept-back dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne carved with lion-head arms and a gilded backrest, draped in a tiger-striped cloth.
