A man seated on an ornate golden throne with lion-head armrests and a brown leather seat addresses a large seated audience in a hall. He wears a rust-orange robe over one shoulder, a long rudraksha-style bead mala with a gold pendant, gold bangles and a gold armband, and is barefoot. A tall golden trident stands at the left edge. Many attendees sit on the floor with orange and black stripes painted on their foreheads and faces, and some wear white. Two large screens behind show a portrait of a bearded man with garlands in saffron tones. A white fan stands at the right.
