A seated man sits cross-legged on an ornate gilded throne with a carved golden backrest and a gold-coloured umbrella above him. He wears an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulders and an orange lower garment, with multiple strands of rudraksha beads and a large gold ceremonial necklace. A white forehead marking and red bindi are visible. He rests his hands together in his lap. The throne sits on a leopard-skin mat, flanked by silver trishula staffs and red-and-blue draped fabric behind. A seated figure with rudraksha, gold ornaments and saffron clothing matches the a person appearance cues, so this is a probable in-person depiction; the page indicates the event is a satsang. Only one physical person is visible.
