A seated figure in a reddish-orange robe and rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with a zebra-striped cloth in a shrine hall painted in blue, green and pink. Two large painted guardian figures with raised weapons flank the doorway. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor, and a potted palm sits in the foreground. Several seated devotees in orange and white clothing sit before the throne, and a man in white sits at the right edge with hands joined. The throne figure has long dark hair and distinctive orange robes with rudraksha beads, matching the satsang setting; this appearance is a probable match for Swamiji (probable) seated in state during satsang.
