A seated figure in saffron-orange robes sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) on a raised stage, in front of a large painted backdrop of a South Indian gopuram temple tower with dense colourful sculpted deities. Rows of audience members, mostly women in white, cream and orange clothing, sit facing the stage from the foreground, with a microphone stand beside the throne and dark side curtains framing the hall. The seated figure wears a rudraksha-style mala and appears in a meditative posture. Appearance-based identification is uncertain, so the figure is described by role as a seated teacher on a throne.
