Indoor photo at a satsang hall with a metal railing and hanging decorative banners. In the centre, a man with long swept-back dark hair wears an orange robe, a long white and orange flower garland and a dark rudraksha mala, and raises his right hand in a blessing gesture toward an older man in a light blue checked shirt who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. A bald monk in orange stands at right holding a folded paper and an orange cloth bundle on a tray. Several men in white shirts and dhotis, one in a pink polo, stand behind the railing. The long-haired central figure matches the Swamiji (probable) description: distinctive swept-back hair, orange robes, garland and rudraksha mala, giving darshan to a devotee.
