A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-brown throne holds a silver trident in his right hand and raises his left hand in blessing, smiling. He wears a rust-brown turban, a saffron-brown dhoti and shawl, a red and gold beaded garland, and bangles. Behind him is a backdrop with a painted portrait and a temple scene. In the foreground, a multi-tiered brass oil lamp burns with lit wicks, and several people sit in white and orange clothing, some holding lamps or sitting with folded hands. The figure has long swept-back hair and ceremonial gold-beaded adornments, consistent with the page's description of a satsang event; the identification is probable but not certain from appearance alone. Golden lion sculptures flank the throne.
