A photograph on a stage at a Bhagavad Gita satsang event. A figure in a bright orange turban and orange robes, with a red-and-white flower garland, hands a decorated tray holding fruit to a man in white dress with a red garland and a shawl with a red border. Between them stands a brass oil lamp with a bird-shaped top. Behind them, a second person in orange robes and a man in a checked shirt stand beside a backdrop with large Tamil lettering and a peacock-feather motif. Another man in a white shirt stands at the right edge. The figure in orange is described as a probable Swamiji by appearance cues, with a turban, saffron robes and a flower garland, while the page notes Swamiji attended this event; the appearance is only moderately clear.
