A large crowd of devotees sits in a hall with white draped walls as a bearded man with long dark hair, a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament, a rust-orange shawl and a long gold necklace sits on a raised seat draped with a tiger-skin cloth beside a golden bull statue. He holds a golden trident (trishul) upright beside him. Several devotees in saffron, white and pink clothes sit in the foreground, and camera tripods stand on a scaffold behind him. A red banner with a name is attached to the scaffold. The appearance of the seated man is consistent with a person, seated on a throne-like seat with a trident and bull, in the role of a speaker addressing the satsang crowd.
