A man with long dark dreadlocked hair and a short beard sits on an ornate carved silver-and-red throne on a red-draped stage, wearing an orange-saffron shawl over a saffron robe. He is seated at a small carved silver side table, holding a pen or stylus near a small object. A tall silver trishul stands beside him and a silver ceremonial staff rises at right. Behind the stage, red and yellow drapes, a red ceiling canopy and sound speakers are visible. A seated audience of devotees in orange-saffron clothing, many with hands joined in prayer, fills the foreground, including older men in white and orange. The setting suggests a satsang or initiation session.
