A seated figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a white jasmine garland, a red flower at the neck, bangles and ornate gold-toned armrests of a golden throne with a carved lion or tiger motif, sits in a satsang setting with hands folded. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron clothing, ceremonial gold ornaments, presiding as the satsang teacher. Before him, silver plates hold flower petals, pink and red blossoms and a red floral heap; brass hanging lamps and a bell hang above. Three devotees sit on the floor in white clothes: a man with folded hands, a woman in a white sari with a red-bordered cloth, and a woman with hair in a bun in an orange sari. A large carved dark wooden door stands at right beside a wall-mounted air conditioner.
