A man seated on an ornate gold throne with a red cushioned seat, wearing a rust-orange robe and a long rudraksha mala, with a red tilak on his forehead and long dark hair, holds up a piece of orange prasad with his right hand while a woman in a rust-orange sari bows forward with her palms open to receive it. A silver bowl with yellow flowers sits in front of the throne on a green cloth. Behind them stand a golden trident, a gold lion figure, a fan, and large gold-and-orange ceremonial umbrellas, with a decorated deity murti in the background. Two more people are partly visible at the right and left edges. The man on the throne has long hair, a beard and a rudraksha mala, and the page identifies the event as a satsang with Swamiji, so he is labelled a probable Swamiji by appearance cues.
