A seated man with long dreadlocked hair wrapped under a rudraksha-beaded band sits eyes closed on an ornate silver-framed throne with a red velvet seat, carved with a sun-like face. He wears a rust-orange bare-chested wrap with a rudraksha mala across the shoulders and a gold chain necklace, with white vibhuti across his forehead. Beside him stand silver trident and staff-like ceremonial rods decorated with white flowers. Behind them, seated devotees in white and saffron, several with white tilak marks, face the front in a hall with wooden doors, yellow-draped tables and white chairs. The scene reads as a satsang or ritual gathering. The man on the throne is a person candidate based on his dreadlocks, rudraksha, orange wrap and gold necklace.
