The central figure wears a gold crown, a red-orange garment, a gold chest ornament and multiple garlands of purple and white flowers, and sits with arms resting on the throne arms while smiling. Golden lion statues flank the throne, and brass oil lamps and a trident stand nearby. Several devotees sit or stand in the foreground in white, cream and saffron-bordered clothing, including women with flowers in their hair and a woman in a pink sari, viewed from behind. Pillars with carved stonework frame the hall. Printed copyright text and an archive credit appear at the lower left of the image. A caption identifies the event as a 39th Avatara Dinotsava satsang.
