A seated figure in a magenta-maroon dhoti and a red-orange shawl sits cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with a silver trident and a silver canopy above, in front of a large projected backdrop of carved stone temple pillars. Several rudraksha-style red beaded malas hang on his chest. Spectators in the foreground, some holding up phones, face the stage under purple and green stage lights. The distinctive long swept-back hair, red beads and ceremonial throne suggest a person presiding at a satsang on a stage, with the crowd of people in front, and the throne-and-trident setting evokes an assembly stage rather than a specific ritual.
