A seated man in a red-maroon turban and a red-orange garment with a heavy gold-coloured beaded necklace sits on a golden throne-like seat at left, smiling and extending his hand toward a devotee who bows with hands folded in front of him. Behind them, several women in white garments with red-and-white shawls stand in a purple-lit hall, one holding her hands together. The seated figure shows distinctive ceremonial adornments and a turban consistent with the page's reference to a person, so this is a probable identification in the appearance-based sense; the devotee and standing women are shown in darshan-style setting.

He has a red bindi and a smile, and his bare feet rest on the red cushion. In front of him, a bare-chested man in a white dhoti with gold border kneels with palms joined in namaskara. Behind the throne, two women in rust-red and white saris wear beaded necklaces and stand on a red carpet, one holding a microphone, with green foliage behind.
