In the foreground, a shaved-headed man in white dhoti and shawl with gold borders and a white and red flower garland sits on the right beside a woman in a red sari with green border and white jasmine garland. Behind them, a man in grey shirt and grey trousers and a woman in maroon sari sit with white garlands, and an audience sits in the background in pastel saris and white clothing. Brass plates with yellow flowers, rice and offerings lie in front. The page flags the event as a Couples Day satsang, but no figure here shows the distinctive a person cues, so the identity is unclear.
