A bearded man with long dark hair sits smiling on an ornate silver throne with red cushions, holding a thin stick or incense-like object in his right hand. He wears a rust-red shawl over his shoulders, white tripod-style forehead markings and a red thread bracelet. A tall silver ceremonial staff stands at his left, and a black Yamaha keyboard unit sits on a silver table before him. Around him, seated devotees in white and orange clothing, some bare-chested with sacred threads, fill a hall with pink walls and gold deity figures in the background. A camera rig is visible at the right edge. This appears to be a Navaratri darbar event in an ashram hall.
