A seated man in a silver-and-red ornate throne with a red velvet cushion leads a gathering inside a hall. He wears a rust-red saffron-toned dhoti-style drape over bare shoulders, a heavy gold multi-strand necklace with a large gold pendant, and gold armlets. His forehead bears white vibhuti with a red kumkum mark, and his long dark hair is swept back. A small hand drum and a black audio unit sit on a wooden table in front of him. Behind him, devotees in white clothes with orange-saffron shawls sit on the floor, and a woman in a white sari with a black beaded mala sits at right. A pink-lit screen hangs in the background. The man appears to be a probable Swamiji (Paramahamsa Nithyananda) given the swept-back hair, ornate gold jewellery, saffron-toned clothing and throne, presented as a teacher in satsang.
