Indoor satsang scene. On the left, a shaved-headed man with a white tilak on his forehead wears a maroon-red silk garment over one shoulder and a long gold-toned beaded necklace. He sits in front of a golden lion-faced throne-like seat and gestures with his right hand toward a devotee on the right. The devotee, in a pale yellow kurta and a red cloth around his neck, sits with his palms pressed together in namaskar. Behind them, a golden deity murti is garlanded with multicoloured flower strands, and an orange-brown cloth hangs in the background. Only the two main seated figures are clearly visible, with a partly visible person at the far right edge.
