A seated man in an orange saffron robe sits on an ornate golden throne with red cushions on a raised stage, holding a small white card. Behind him, two deity murtis are decorated with multicoloured garlands and flowers, and a large golden umbrella hangs above. Golden lion-shaped figures flank the throne, and a microphone stand stands in front of him. Garlanded murtis and a gold peacock-feather arrangement appear on the sides. The backdrop shows temple-style pillars. The seated man, described as Swamiji (probable) by his orange robe, long swept-back hair and ceremonial setting, appears to be giving a satsang discourse.
