A seated figure on a gold-and-brown throne-style chair receives devotees at a large indoor session. The seated person wears a black crown-like headpiece, a long rudraksha mala with a gold ornament, bangles and maroon-red clothing, and holds a white cup on a small black table. Around the throne, attendants in white tops and orange-saffron scarves kneel and tend an orange cloth draped over a gold cushion. A tall silver trident stands at left, and a standing man in orange and rudraksha malas is at right. Several people in white and orange lanyards sit or stand in the background. The seated figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone; no printed name is visible in the scene.
