A seated man in saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long gold-beaded mala and a tilak on his forehead, sits on a red velvet throne with gold carved armrests and reads from loose sheets of paper. Several devotees in white clothes with orange or red shawls kneel or stand before him with raised palms in greeting. A young boy in white with a rudraksha mala kneels in the foreground, hands raised. Behind them stand additional attendees and potted plants, with gold-and-wood latticed panels in the background. The setting appears to be a formal darshan or satsang hall with orange carpeting.
