A seated bearded man with long dark hair, wearing a rust-red saffron wrap and rudraksha-style necklaces, sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne in a bright hall with golden decorations. He holds drumsticks over a small wooden table with a red cushion and electronic equipment. Around him, several people in white clothes, orange-red shawls and white garlands sit on chairs and mats, some with hands raised in prayer or meditation gestures. A standing fan and patterned mats occupy the floor. This appears to be a mandala ritual setting.
