A photograph of a large seated gathering in an ashram hall, with devotees in orange and saffron garments and red shawls. In the foreground, a woman in white with a red shawl holds a brass lamp in both hands, and beside her a man in a white kurta with a red shawl raises a small oil lamp toward the viewer, while another man in white with a red stole holds a lit lamp. Behind them, rows of women in orange-and-yellow saris sit with hands folded in prayer. The scene suggests an aarti or lamp offering during a satsang. No figure in the image is clearly identifiable as the a person, so no appearance-based candidate is claimed.

A figure in orange robes with hair tied back sits on a white cushion at right, extending a hand toward a man in white shirt and white dhoti who bends forward holding a folded paper.

A man in an orange top sits in the lower left foreground.

A shaved-headed priest in a white dhoti and white shirt with a red-and-white border performs aarti, lifting a silver lamp with a large flame toward the upper frame with one hand while holding a small bell in the other. He wears a gold chain and a bracelet and sits cross-legged on a red cloth before a microphone stand. Behind him a row of women sit with palms pressed together in namaskar, several in orange and saffron saris and others in white with yellow shawls. A brass thali holds a golden sweet, marigold petals, kumkum-coloured offerings, a bowl of cooked shrimp-like items, rice, and small metal vessels. A traditional yellow-and-green dish sits nearby, and a brass kalasha-style lamp stand on a silver tray at left.
