A large indoor satsang with a crowd of seated devotees, many in white and red clothing. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, a red-orange turban with a gold ornament, a beard, a leopard-print garment, layered gold and beaded necklaces and a gold armband sits on a throne-like seat with a tiger-skin covering. He holds a tall golden trident in one hand and gestures with the other while speaking. Beside him stands a golden bull figure (nandi). Stage equipment, a camera on a tripod, and a red 'Sadhyojata' sign appear at the right. Whether the central figure is a person cannot be confirmed from appearance alone; the page indicates he is present, but the visible cues are not distinctive enough to confirm.
