A satsang in an ornate hall with a golden throne backdrop. A seated figure with long dark hair wears a red and orange garment with ornate gold and beaded necklaces, seated on a gold throne with red cushions, flanked by golden lion-form and golden deity statues. In front, a large group of shaven-headed men in saffron-orange robes with rudraksha malas sit on the floor, and devotees in red and orange attire sit along the right. A decorated deity murti stands at the right edge. Hanging yellow paper lanterns, tassels and colourful paper ornaments decorate the arches and ceiling. A few white-clad attendants sit near red floor cushions. The central figure's appearance is consistent with the page's identification but uncertain from the image alone.
