A man in a white shirt and khaki trousers leans forward from the left to hand a printed booklet or card to a long-haired, bearded man seated on a gold-and-red throne at a microphone stand. The seated man wears a dark embroidered garment with a black shawl and a white jasmine garland; the throne is draped with white and yellow-orange flower garlands. Behind them hang a maroon curtain and a colourful draped cloth with a printed painted panel showing figures' legs. A second person in dark clothing sits partly hidden behind the throne. A small wall poster reads a partial line about a master's life and experience. The seated man's appearance is consistent with the a person cues of long hair and ornate clothing, but the photo is not conclusive, so this is a probable in-person presence.
