Indoor satsang scene at evening with a red curtain behind. A figure with long dark hair swept into a bun, a white forehead mark, a white and dark rudraksha-style bead necklace and a tiger-striped orange-and-black garment kneels on a red-patterned mat, smiling and placing a hand on the head of a man in a striped grey-and-black polo who bows forward with palms pressed together. A man in a white shirt with an ID badge kneels at right, and several people stand in the background near the curtain. The lead figure appears to be a person depiction by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, rudraksha beads, and distinctive saffron-patterned clothing, bestowing blessing on a devotee.
