A man in a rust-orange turban and matching saffron-red robe sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion arms, wearing a long pink-and-white flower garland and a gold pendant necklace, with a microphone stand before him and a small table holding a cup. Behind him hangs a large painted panel of a multi-armed deity holding a trident, and to the right stands a gilded arched shrine framing a silver-crowned deity murti decorated with flower garlands and bead necklaces, beside a golden lion vehicle and brass lamps. A rainbow-coloured fringed canopy hangs at the top, and the stage is carpeted in red. Visible print in the lower right reads a copyright notice and source credit. The setting appears to be a satsang discourse on a temple-style stage.
