A seated figure in a saffron-orange dhoti and shawl, wearing a long rudraksha mala with gold ornaments and long swept-back dark hair, sits on a dark red cushioned seat and reaches toward a man in a white kurta with an orange sash who stands with raised palms, as if greeting or receiving. Behind them is a deity murti decorated with red, yellow and white flower garlands and gold ornaments, with colourful fabric hanging to the left and a pink wall and fan at right. The seated figure's distinctive hair, ornate gold and rudraksha adornments and saffron clothing match the page's identification, so this is a person seated in a satsang-like setting, with the standing man a devotee. Two visible people.
