A satsang gathering under a tent with a pink backdrop. A seated figure with long dark hair wears a red-brown garment and sits on an ornate gold-trimmed throne with a microphone stand before him. Standing to the left, a man in a white dhoti and shawl wears a large beaded garland and gold necklace. Around them, rows of seated devotees in white and cream clothing, many with long dark hair, face the dais. A woman with light hair sits to the right of the throne, and a blue flag hangs at the upper right. The seated figure at the throne is an appearance-based probable match for a person, with long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial cues, seated as the speaker. The standing man is a priest or attendant in white ritual clothing.
