A photograph of a satsang held in an open courtyard with red walls and a golden canopy. A bearded man in an orange-saffron robe sits on an ornate golden throne-like seat with a microphone, a cushioned seat and a small wooden stand before him. He appears to be the central speaker, and the page labels him as a person, though his appearance is not conclusively distinctive, so the identity is uncertain. Seated on white cloth before him are about a dozen devotees in white clothes with blue and white beaded lanyards, some with tilak marks, and a woman in a red-and-green sari stands at the right holding a tray. Bronze deity statues flank the throne and a golden trident stands at the left edge.
