A man with long dark hair and a trimmed beard sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne, wearing an orange shawl over reddish-brown robes and a rudraksha mala, with a gold necklace visible; he gestures with his hands. Around him, devotees sit on a colourful striped rug, some in orange and red shawls and rudraksha malas, some bare-chested, a woman in red sari and mala beside the throne, and a woman in white with a head covering at right. Other participants touch their foreheads. A silver stand with a small appliance and a metal bucket occupy the foreground. A small figure in orange sits at the far left.

A silver trishul stands at left. Around him, seated attendees in white, rust and orange clothing and rudraksha malas face the throne, with a white-clad woman and a shaved-headed man behind. A Yamaha keyboard and a small wooden table are in front of the throne. The scene suggests a ceremonial session in a hall with framed pictures on the wall. The image is a photograph; the throne-seated man has long swept-back hair, a shawl and ornate gold necklaces, but his appearance alone is insufficient to confirm identity, so the description uses his role only.2017-04-28March 16 20172017-03-16 +1 copiesA seated man with long swept-back dark hair, a full beard and a saffron-orange robe sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a hall filled with seated devotees.
