A seated man in a deep red-maroon robe with a gold-edged shawl and a white tripundra forehead mark sits in a heavily ornate gold throne carved with figures and a gold lion-head armrest support. He rests his hands on the cushioned arms, eyes closed, facing left in a dark room. Brass hanging bells and oil lamps hang from the ceiling, and small lights glimmer behind the throne. A striped tiger-print cloth covers the seat. The setting resembles a satsang or meditation session. One physical person is visible. The seated figure is an appearance-based a person candidate with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha-style garland, and this is an in-person photograph.
