A queue of devotees in white and striped shirts stands behind silver railings on a carpeted hall while a man in a bare-backed saffron-brown dhoti with a gold-trimmed waist sash bends forward to greet them. Behind him, two men in saffron-orange robes stand near a red velvet throne with gold details, and a woman in a patterned top and other guests watch from the right. Behind the velvet railing, a tiered backdrop with a banner partly reads Bha... Dhyan, and a wall screen is mounted above. A person holding a rudraksha mala stands at the right in orange and a person cue is not clearly established by a single distinctive cue, so identity is left uncertain.
