A long-haired man with a beard, bare-chested and wearing a leopard-print cloth wrap with a brown-and-orange shawl draped over his shoulder, stands beside a brown leather throne with gold trim and a carved gold lion. He holds a tall gold trident and extends one hand toward a seated audience of devotees in saffron, orange and pink saris and white kurtas, many wearing rudraksha malas and flower garlands. Hanging paper lanterns in orange and yellow decorate the white-draped hall, and a screen at left shows a photo collage. The setting suggests a satsang or discourse.
