A seated man in rust-brown and gold-bordered robes sits on an ornate silver throne with a red velvet seat and a carved sun-face motif, holding a small wooden fan or implement in his right hand. He has long dark hair falling past his shoulders, a red tilak mark on his forehead, a gold necklace and a gold-tassel mala. Beside him stands a tall silver staff topped with a crouching animal figure, and a silver stand holds a small red-lidded box. Behind him a red curtain hangs and seated devotees in white and orange clothing sit on the floor, with a woman in a red-and-white sari visible in the background. Ancient ornate silver ritual objects and a discourse setting suggest a satsang gathering.
