A satsang hall where a figure seated on a golden throne decorated with marigold and multicolour flower garlands addresses an audience. The seated figure wears a yellow robe, a long gold-beaded necklace and has long dark hair; per the page, this may be a person, based on the long hair, yellow ornate clothing and gold necklace. Seated on an orange and blue cloth before him are many devotees: men in white dhotis and shirts, and women in red and orange saris. Several sit with palms joined in namaskar or hold brass plates of fruit, sweets and red flower petals arranged on a gold tray. Behind them a large red-toned portrait hangs on the wall, and a fuller audience fills the rest of the hall.
