A seated figure in orange robes with long dark hair and a pink and white flower garland holds an open book, with a beaded rudraksha mala hanging from his hand, at the centre of a satsang-style gathering. Before him a young boy in a light blue shirt and green shorts bends forward on a white cloth, and a woman in a cream and gold sari with a gold-bordered pallu sits with hands folded in prayer on the right. A man in a white kurta sits on the left holding a framed picture, and a second man in orange robes with a red kalasha-like tray and fruit offering sits at the far left. A bottle of water and a bowl of fruit sit on an orange-draped stool, and a wine-coloured patterned rug covers the floor. The seated figure is an appearance-based probable candidate for a person, identified by his long swept-back hair, orange robes, flower garland and rudraksha mala, but the photo is not clear enough to confirm this.
