He wears a white flower garland, a rudraksha mala and a shawl over one shoulder. In front of him, a seated audience in white, red, saffron and green clothes faces the throne, some with their hands folded. Brass oil lamps with rooster-shaped finials stand on the stage, and strings of white flowers hang at the right. A golden carved pillar with lion figures frames the left edge, and a blue backdrop shows a shivalinga-like emblem with a red dot. The scene suggests a satsang-style teaching session on a stage.
