A seated figure in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing a red and white flower garland and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces. Around the throne, men in white dhotis and shirts stand with red-and-gold shawls, a boy in white shirt stands at left, and women in cream and lavender saris stand at right beside a golden trident on a pole. The backdrop is a glowing red stage with gold and bronze discs. The throne setting suggests a formal satsang or discourse, with the bright red carpet and white-robed attendants present.

A photograph of a seated figure on an ornate golden throne with lion-shaped armrests and a tiger-striped cloth, under a gold canopy inside a tent. The central figure wears a red robe, a long multicolour flower garland and gold necklaces, with a red tilak on the forehead and hair swept back. Two crossed silver tridents flank the throne. Standing and kneeling around are devotees: a man in white with clasped hands at left, a man in an orange dhoti and rudraksha mala beside the throne, a woman in a white sari with a red-and-white shawl at right, and a woman in red beside her. Rose petals lie on a red cushioned platform at the foot of the throne, where a priest in white with a red shawl kneels at left. The scene reads as a pratyaksha padapuja on a throne, with the seated figure described only by role.2016-05-20May 04 20162016-05-04A photograph of a seated man in an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, under a gold fringed canopy.
