The central figure wears an orange-red robe, a long rudraksha mala with a large ceremonial pendant, and a gold necklace; his hair is long and swept back, and he gestures with one hand while speaking. Around the throne, a large audience sits on the floor and in rows, many wearing white shirts and orange-and-white lanyards, others in saffron or colourful saris. A small wooden stand draped in orange cloth sits at the right edge. The room has gold-toned wall panels and a wood-paneled ceiling. a person is identified by distinctive appearance cues including long swept hair, saffron robe, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, seated in a throne-like chair.
