A seated man with long, swept-back black hair wears a pink draped garment with gold-brocade edging and a gold necklace, sitting on an orange cushion on a low wooden platform. He faces a seated audience of about twenty men in white shirts and dhotis, plus a few in checked shirts, on a courtyard with white kolam designs on the ground. A small brass vessel with a red flower sits in the foreground. Behind, an orange-robed man with a gold chain stands with hands folded near a red-pillared structure and stone sculptures. The seated figure's appearance is suggestive of a person in a satsang role, sitting in front of the seated devotees.
