A seated teacher in a saffron-orange robe with a tilak on his forehead sits on an ornate silver throne decorated with a garland of yellow, purple, green and red flowers, gesturing with raised hands while speaking at a wooden lectern. Around him, a large crowd of mostly bare-chested men wearing white dhotis with red-bordered shawls and rudraksha malas sits on the floor facing him. Several women in saris, including one in yellow, sit among them. Behind the throne, a large backdrop shows red sandstone temple pillars with carved sculptures. A few people sit at the left edge, one with a white head covering. The scene resembles a satsang discourse in a temple-style hall.
