A smiling man in a rust-brown dhoti and shawl with gold borders stands barefoot on an ornate patterned rug, both palms raised in greeting. He wears a long gold-and-beaded necklace, a red bindi, gold bangles and gold earrings. Behind him is a large gold-and-red throne with lion-shaped armrests and a striped cloth draped over it, and a painted deity figure with multiple arms and a crown stands to the left beside a red velvet curtain. The setting appears to be a stage-like satsang hall.
