A ceremonial scene in a courtyard with a golden throne draped in garlands of marigolds and red flowers, flanked by golden lion figures and silver trident staffs. A seated man with folded hands and a garland around his neck sits on the throne wearing a rust-orange cloth. Standing before him, several men in white dhotis, some bare-chested with rudraksha malas, hold ceremonial items, and a man in a red-and-pink turban carries a tray. Women in orange and saffron saris stand nearby. A striped woven mat lies on the floor, and a golden offering box sits in front with a flower garland. This appears to be a satsang homa ritual.
