He wears a long gold necklace and a rudraksha-style bead mala, holds a small red cushion on his lap, and gestures with one hand while speaking into a microphone on a stand. The seat is draped with a tiger-striped cloth and red velvet, set against a deep red curtain.

He wears a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament and crescent-shaped accent, a red-orange garment with a yellow-gold border, layered gold and rudraksha-style beaded malas with a large gold pendant, a beaded bracelet, and bare feet. Whether this is a person cannot be confirmed from the image alone, so the appearance is treated as uncertain; the person is described by role as a seated devotee-presenter in saffron-toned ceremonial dress during a satsang-style occasion.A seated man in saffron-orange robes sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne carved with swans, lions and floral motifs, draped over a leopard-print cushion and tiger-skin rug.

A seated figure in an orange-saffron robe with long dark hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold lion-form armrests and a cushioned seat.

A woman in a red and orange sari stands with palms joined beside him, and an older man in a white dhoti and shirt with folded hands stands at left. Behind them, several women in white and colourful saris stand near red and maroon curtains.
