A satsang setting with a long-haired figure in saffron and orange clothing and beaded necklaces seated on the left, raising a hand in blessing toward a shaved-headed monk in saffron and orange who bends forward. Around them, a man in a grey shirt leans in, and a man in a white kurta sits with palms pressed together. A bald man in saffron and orange with rudraksha beads kneels at right. A wooden tray holds apples and bananas, and a golden staff and gilded decorations stand at the left edge. Several people in the background wear grey shirts and white clothes near red curtains and a table of cloth items. The long-haired figure's identity is uncertain from appearance alone.
