A photograph of a satsang hall with an orange carpet. On a golden throne at the right, a man with long dark hair wears a leopard-print top with an orange shawl draped over it, speaking while seated on a red cushioned seat; a person candidate by cues of long swept hair and orange shawl, while the leopard-print top is not a distinctive cue. Seated devotees on the floor in front of him include a man in white with rudraksha mala and a woman in white with an orange shawl, several women in white and orange saris, and a woman in yellow. Brass plates of fruit and red flowers sit on a gold-trimmed tray. Several shaved-head men in white and orange stand or sit in the background, and a fan and a table with fruit are visible at the right.
