A seated audience of shaved-headed men in white clothes, many with yellow or saffron-trimmed garments, faces the stage of a satsang hall from behind. On a raised gold-and-red throne at the centre, a figure in yellow robes sits with a microphone on a red-draped lectern before him, flanked by vases of orange flowers. Above him a green banner reads Yoga Sutras against a blue curtain. Audience members sit cross-legged on the floor and rows of chairs fill the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the throne-seated figure in yellow robes and long hair matches the appearance cues of the page's subject, presented here as a teacher on a throne rather than identified by face.
