A seated man in orange and red ritual robes sits in front of a garden-like altar with a large photographic backdrop of a dense tree canopy. He has his palms pressed together in prayer, with a rudraksha mala around his neck and a white tilak on his forehead. Potted plants and rounded stones surround the low platform. Behind him, a gold-coloured sculpture of a seated deity with a consort stands before the backdrop. On the left, a golden-framed deity murti in orange and blue is adorned with marigold garlands, and on the right a gold-framed murti with a red face is decorated with a garland and sits on a gold lion-form base. The scene reads as a satsang with a ritual setting.
