A man in orange-red saffron robes and a matching red turban sits on an ornate gold throne with a red zebra-striped cushion, speaking into a microphone on a stand at left. He wears a long gold ceremonial necklace and has a tilak on his forehead. Behind him is a gold-embossed throne back with a small golden deity relief, and bamboo-style screens hang with red and white beaded strands. Yellow flowers appear at the top edge, and a golden ornament sits in the foreground. The scene suggests a discourse or satsang setting.
