A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate white-and-red throne in a hall, holding a small golden leaf-shaped object aloft in one hand and a trident-tipped wand in the other, with eyes closed and a tilak on his forehead. He wears a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, with long dark hair swept back. Around him, devotees in white ritual clothes with saffron-orange shawls sit on the floor, some with hands pressed in prayer. A brass vessel and a blue-topped stand sit in front, and a banner reads in a red panel behind. Appearance-based label: a person, seated in the role of the presiding teacher during a mandala initiation.
