A seated man in a saffron-orange robe and matching turban sits on an ornate golden throne with a radiant sunburst backrest, before a red curtain. He wears a white flower garland and a beaded rudraksha-style necklace, and rests his hands on a gold armrest in front of a microphone. A tall golden trident stands to the left of the throne, with golden lion sculptures at its base and carved golden elephant panels framing the stage. A camera on a tripod films the event. Dozens of seated audience members in orange and white clothing fill the foreground, many with their backs to the camera. The setting suggests a satsang discourse.
