Night outdoor scene at an ashram-style courtyard. A man with long dark hair wears a red-orange saffron-toned robe with a rudraksha mala and a long garland of red roses and yellow marigolds, smiling as he extends his hand over a man in orange and red who bows forward with his head down, bare-backed with a rope-like necklace. To the left stands an ornate gold throne with a sunburst-carved back on a red-carpeted base. To the right, a man in orange-brown robes with a long rudraksha mala holds a microphone, and two people with folded palms are visible at the edge of the frame. A white electric fan and a red-and-yellow canopy with tassels appear in the background.
