A man seated cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat and a multicoloured striped canopy above, on a stage draped with dark blue curtains. He wears a blue shawl, blue dhoti, and a gold necklace, and he is speaking into a microphone on a stand. Beside him to the left is a gold pedestal bearing a standing statue in blue robes, garlanded with yellow, orange, white and purple flower strands. Orange and blue floor covering lies on the stage, and a few heads of seated audience members are visible at the bottom edge. Appearance-based cues on the throne-seated man include the ornate gold necklace and blue ceremonial shawl, consistent with the a person candidate for a satsang on Ashramites Day.
