A seated man in a maroon-red robe sits cross-legged with eyes closed on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, a rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders and a mala held in his right hand. A red bindi is on his forehead. Behind him a large gold-toned relief of a multi-armed deity murti with a crown and a cobra hood rises above the throne. A trident stands at the left edge, potted plants flank the stage, and a microphone stand is at the right. The red stage carpet and the throne signal a formal satsang setting.

A seated man with closed eyes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with a carved cobra hood and red velvet cushions on a red stage. He wears a maroon-red ochre robe draped over one shoulder, a long rudraksha mala around his neck, and a red tilak on his forehead, holding a mala in one hand. To his left stands a golden trident, and a brass pot and water bottle sit on a yellow-draped table. Behind the throne, a large bronze relief shows a multi-armed deity holding a book and a drum.
