A seated man in a red-maroon robe with a red-maroon shawl and a heavy gold bead necklace sits on a silver throne with a red velvet cushion. Long dark hair falls past his shoulders, and he has a red tilak on his forehead; his bare upper body is partly visible. He leans forward, one hand gesturing with a silver ritual implement, the other resting on a black Yamaha keyboard in front of him. A silver standard with a ceremonial staff and a silver rail-style stand flank the throne. Around him a seated audience of devotees fills the hall, many women in orange and saffron saris and several men bare-chested or in white, with a red and white painted backdrop behind. A silver-tone ritual staff topped with a finial stands at left.
