A seated man in orange-red robes sits on an ornate gold-trimmed swing-throne with a low wooden reading stand before him, addressing a large gathering. Around him, many children and young people in orange, saffron and white clothing sit on the courtyard floor, some with hands folded. A brass trident stands upright near the front, and carved stone statues and potted plants surround the open-air courtyard beneath hanging bells. The setting resembles a satsang or discourse in an ashram courtyard. The seated man in orange-red robes with a shaved head is unidentified by appearance, so no a person candidate is asserted.
