A seated man in a yellow-orange turban and yellow shawl over a red garment sits on a golden dais beside a decorated deity murti of Ganesha, which is draped with yellow, purple and pink garlands, and gestures with a raised hand toward a group of seated women and a few men on the floor. Several women wear saffron, red and green saris and one wears an orange top, some with flowers in their hair. A golden lamp with a flame sits at lower right, and a red and gold throne backdrop surrounds the scene. A water bottle and flowers rest on the golden table. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse hall with a white air cooler and red curtains.
