A man in an orange turban, orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits smiling on an ornate dark-and-gold throne at centre, with red fruit piled on a tray beside him. Behind him stands a young man in orange robes with a yellow-and-orange bead necklace. Another person in orange robes with a shaved head sits to the left of the throne, and an orange-robed attendant stands on a step at far left near a wooden lectern. Several people in white shirts and dhotis, a woman in a maroon sari and women in yellow and white move through the foreground as devotees and helpers. The seated central figure's appearance with orange turban, long hair and rudraksha beads is a probable Swamiji candidate, and the page indicates his presence at this satsang.
