A man seated on a dark wooden throne wears a black velvet crown-like cap, a saffron-orange garment, a long gold-beaded necklace and a rudraksha mala, and gestures with raised hands while speaking. A tall silver trident stands at left, and a large banner beside a portrait behind him shows a seated figure in red and white garlands. Devotees fill the hall in front, many in white, orange and saffron, some with orange lanyards. A blurred raised arm in the foreground belongs to a devotee. Red and orange drapes and framed embroidered wall hangings decorate the backdrop.
