A figure in an orange-saffron robe with a red and white flower garland sits on an ornate gold throne carved with a lion-like guardian at its base, with a white cushion behind. Brass bells hang from the ceiling above, and brass oil lamps stand at right beside trays of offerings: silver plates with flowers, fruit and red petals on a gold table. Two elderly women with folded hands in prayer and a seated older man in white kneel or sit nearby, while a bald figure in front bends forward. A bright studio light and a painted deity murti with a raised sword and trident are visible at right. The setting appears to be a satsang or darshan hall.
