A seated man in saffron-orange robes and a matching saffron turban sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-like figures and a cobra hood canopy above. He wears a long white garland, multiple rudraksha malas, and gold necklaces. A tall gold trident stands beside the throne, and small gold trident-shaped stands flank the stage. A red carpet covers the platform; the backdrop shows a painted colonnaded palace hall. Two whiteboards at the sides list sleep and consciousness states in handwriting. Swamiji (probable) appears as the central figure, seated as a teacher on the throne, with the turban, saffron clothing, malas and gold ornaments as visible cues.
