A man stands barefoot on a red carpet in front of an ornate golden throne with red tiger-striped cushions and gilded lion-head arms. He wears an orange-saffron turban with a red bindi, a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl with golden borders, a heavy gold garland with a large gold pendant, gold armlets and bangles, and a small headset microphone, gesturing with one hand while speaking. Two painted and gilded four-armed deity statues flank him, one holding a conch and the other a club, under a maroon velvet canopy. Probable Swamiji (probable): the orange turban, saffron robes, ornate gold garland and attire suggest a sannyasi giving satsang discourse.

A red velvet canopy hangs above the stage.
