A group photograph on a stage with deep maroon velvet drapes and a gold-framed ornate throne. A man seated at centre on the throne wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with a red floral garland and a rudraksha-style mala, hands raised in a gesture of blessing. Around him, about twenty devotees arranged in tiers: men standing at back in white dhotis with red shawls, women in white and red saris and some in orange, several seated on the floor on red cushions in front. Some hold hands together in anjali mudra. The scene reads as a satsang group portrait.
