A bearded man in an orange-brown shawl and saffron-gold dhoti sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and carved lion-head arms, raising a small handheld device in one hand while gesturing with the other. A seated priest in white with a red-brown cloth around his shoulders sits at the lower left beside a striped rug. Around the throne, several women in black tops stand with hands raised to their faces in a meditative pose, and a woman in purple and another in green stand behind, with a blue draped backdrop and colourful hanging decorations above. A cameraman with a camera is visible at the upper right. The bearded man wears a rudraksha-style mala, has long hair, and is seated in a throne in a manner consistent with the visible cues of a presiding teacher, so the identification is uncertain.
