A courtyard session in an ornate red-walled hall with a carved white pillared canopy. A man in an orange-saffron robe with a microphone sits centrally on a raised cushioned seat, and a gold trident stands in the foreground. Around him, a large seated group wearing saffron-orange garments, rudraksha-style beaded necklaces and bangles listens attentively; several have long dreadlocked hair. Hanging brass bells, a copper pot and a fringed grass ornament hang from the roof, and a bell-shaped metal lamp hangs nearby. The gathering looks like an ashram satsang or discourse.

Dozens of seated devotees in saffron-orange clothes with long matted hair and rudraksha beads listen in front of him, some on the floor in rows. A dancing Nataraja bronze and a deity murti stand in the background, and a brass trident rests at the right edge.
