A seated bearded man in an orange-brown robe and orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne on a stage. He wears a rudraksha mala and a pink-and-white flower garland, and his hands rest on the armrests. Behind him is a large painted backdrop of a four-armed deity murti with a crescent moon and crown, holding a trident-like symbol, a flame and a drum, with gold leaf foliage above. Gold lion-form pillars flank the stage, a brass oil lamp stands at each side, and a silver-tipped trident leans to the left. Red velvet drapes frame the set. The scene appears to be a satsang or darshan setting; the seated figure is a probable Swamiji by his orange robe, rudraksha mala and turban, though the face is not clearly distinguishable at this size.
