A photograph of a satsang stage with a large Tamil banner behind it reading the words for Bhagavad Gita and Satsang. A man in saffron-orange robes, wearing an orange head wrap, a long rudraksha mala and a bindi, sits in an ornate dark-wood and gold throne-style armchair with carved lion-head armrests, speaking into a microphone on a stand. A laptop sits on a wooden table in front of him. Vases of colourful flowers stand on wooden pedestals at each side, and a border of marigolds and daisies lines the front of the stage. Swamiji (probable): the speaker has long, swept-back hair, an orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha beads, presented as a seated discourse on the Bhagavad Gita.
