A photo of a satsang in an ashram room with cream walls and a large window of green foliage. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe and a beaded mala, sits on an ornate carved wooden throne with a red cushion and a red-and-gold canopy above. A microphone stand stands in front of the throne. Seated devotees on white cloth face the throne; some sit on chairs. Floral lotus-shaped arrangements with pink and white flowers lie on green leaves on the floor, and fruit and flowers sit before the throne. A man in a white shirt stands at the right beside a framed painting of a saffron-clad figure. Framed devotional paintings hang on the walls, including a deity with a tall crown and a red-and-gold image. The scene is an in-person gathering with several seated attendees; the appearance-based candidate is a person (saffron robe, long hair, mala, ornate throne), so the presence is uncertain.
