A large ornate golden throne (peetha) decorated with a garland of multicoloured flowers stands at the back, with a golden canopy above and carved figures on its arch. A standing woman in an orange-red headwrap and a multi-strand flower garland holds papers and speaks, while a man in a red turban stands at the right holding a book. Seated men wear orange robes and garlands, and one wears a rudraksha mala. Two priests stand at the far right and a helper in white is at the left edge. The scene resembles a satsang gathering with a throne reserved for the central guru.
