A seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, draped in long strands of white, yellow and purple flower garlands, wears a pink dhoti and pink shawl with a red tilak on his forehead and rudraksha-style beads at his neck. He smiles and extends his right hand toward a brass plate of offerings in front of him. To his left, a man in white kurta and dhoti bends forward to place or adjust something on the plate, while another man in white stands behind, and a woman in a white sari with red border stands beside them against a dark blue curtain. Gold-edged decorative panels frame the throne and a microphone stand is at right. Flower-decorated seating and devotional setting suggest a satsang gathering.
