A seated man in a deep red robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a golden lotus-petal backrest, eyes closed and one hand raised in a gesture. He wears long yellow and pink-white flower garlands, a gold pendant, gold chains, rudraksha bracelets and a pair of ceremonial gold pieces, with a red cushion beside him. His bare foot rests on a silver plate of marigolds, roses, jasmine and a fruit, a ritual padapuja. A second man in white with a rudraksha mala stands blurred at left. Behind the throne is gold and lit stage decor. The scene reads as a satsang or discourse setting.
