A seated man in a deep red robe sits on an ornate gold throne with a large golden lotus-petal backrest and red cushions, hands pressed together in namaste. He wears a long gold necklace, a rudraksha-style mala, and beaded bracelets, with a tilak on his forehead and long hair swept back. Around him stand several men in orange and saffron dhotis and shawls, some with white tilak marks, some with hands folded. Below the throne is a gold footstool and a brass vessel; colourful striped mats cover the ground, and string lights hang among trees behind. A fan and microphone stands sit at the edges. The scene appears to be an evening satsang or gathering in an open-air setting.
