A man seated on an ornate red velvet throne with gold-carved armrest, palms pressed together in namaste at chest level. He wears a red and gold fan-pleated turban with a round gold brooch and a red vermilion dot on his forehead. He is bare-chested with a red-and-gold silk cloth draped over one shoulder, a gold-beaded waist belt, layered rudraksha-style beaded malas, and beaded armlets. A figure in orange robes sits partly visible at the right edge. The appearance-based cues of turban, distinctive ornate beaded jewellery, and a throne are present, so this is a person in person, presented as a seated greeting during a satsang setting.
