A satsang stage with a red carpet and draped red and maroon fabric backdrop. A seated man in orange-red robes and a marigold garland sits on an ornate gilded throne with lion-head armrests, smiling, with a red cushion beneath him; he is a candidate in appearance with long dark hair and saffron clothing, but the cues are not distinctive enough for a firm identification. To the right, a gilded arched shrine holds a deity murti draped in green and multicoloured garlands. Marigold garlands hang along the posts, banana leaves frame the scene, and a painted guardian figure stands at left. Brass plates with offerings lie at the base of the shrine.
