A photograph of an indoor satsang. A long-haired figure in saffron-orange robes sits on a red velvet throne with gold trim, gesturing toward a tray of fruit, flowers and food on a white table. A bald man in white clothes with an orange shawl sits with palms pressed together, and a young boy in a white checked shirt kneels with hands folded and a rolled paper in hand. Several men in white and yellow-trimmed shirts, some with orange or red stoles, stand around them against a dark blue backdrop. The saffron-robed figure matches the presentation cues of a person, seated on a throne and receiving offerings and devotees.
