Large indoor satsang hall with white draped walls and orange paper decorations overhead. A central figure in an orange-red turban and matching saffron-red robe, wearing a long rudraksha-style gold bead garland and ornate gold necklaces, sits on a tiger-skin seat beside a golden bull statue, gesturing with one hand and holding a tall golden staff. A dense audience of seated devotees in white, red and orange clothes fills the floor, and a large screen displays a portrait at the right. The centred figure matches the page's appearance cues for a person, but identity is uncertain from appearance alone.

A seated teacher in a rust-orange dhoti and bare chest sits on a golden bull-shaped seat draped with a tiger skin, in front of a large crowd in a white-draped hall. He wears an orange-red turban with a gold ornament, a heavy gold necklace, rudraksha-style beads and gold armbands, and raises one hand while holding a tall golden staff topped with a trident-like finial.
