A seated man in orange and saffron robes with long dark hair and a rudraksha mala sits with palms pressed together in namaskar on an ornate gold throne draped with a tiger-skin cloth, beside a golden lion-form armrest. The throne is decorated with garlands in red, yellow, white, green and purple. Beside him, a second gold throne holds a deity murti or statue wearing a garland and rich orange-and-gold cloth, with a red cloth draped at its base. A white pedestal fan stands between the thrones, and a purple curtain hangs behind. The dais setting suggests a satsang or discourse.
