A seated man with long dark hair, a full beard and a red tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne at the centre of a hall, eyes closed, a hand resting on a small wooden table with a black Yamaha keyboard. He wears a rust-red garment with an orange shawl draped over one shoulder and a gold necklace. A tall silver trident stands beside him. Seated devotees in white and orange-red attire with rudraksha malas face the throne, and large screens on the walls show portraits. Floor mats in red, green and blue stripes lie below. Probable Swamiji (appearance-based): the seated figure on the throne has long swept-back hair, a shawl and gold ornament cues, presented as the central teacher in a satsang setting.
