A photograph of a satsang hall with a seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha) with a red cushion, wearing long saffron-orange robes and a long black hair swept back. Bare-footed, the seated person extends both hands to receive an offering from a man in a white shirt and beige trousers with a pendant necklace, who bends forward. Beside him a woman in a maroon sari with cream border smiles and clasps her hands. Behind the throne, two saffron-robed men stand, one bearded with a long rudraksha-style necklace and gold chain, the other shaved-headed wearing beads and a gold pendant. A microphone stand is at the lower right, and onlookers in the background include a woman in a green patterned sari. A probable Swamiji cue is present: long swept-back hair, saffron robes, and a gold-and-red throne.
