The person wears a saffron-orange robe, long flowing dark hair, a gold necklace and a red-and-green flower garland, and holds a silver trident in one raised hand while speaking.

One physical person is visible.2013-03-10A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on a cushioned golden throne draped with a zebra-striped cloth, smiling broadly. A long garland of red, yellow and purple flowers hangs from the neck and a gold necklace rests on the chest; gold bangles adorn the wrists and a red mark is on the forehead. Behind the throne a large arch of marigold and rose garlands in red, yellow, purple and green frames a gold repoussé backdrop, with string lights on either side. A silver trident stands at the left edge. The scene resembles a satsang seating. Long, swept-back dark hair falls over the shoulders, and the figure is seated barefoot on the throne.
