A photograph of a satsang event. A seated figure in an orange-red and saffron silk garment with a gold border, wearing a long green and yellow flower garland with pink roses, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion and smiles while another person touches the top of his head. A man in a blue-and-white checked shirt with an ID badge on his chest bows forward and offers a tray of sweets. Behind them, a bald man in white and a person in a yellow shawl stand near a tray of fruit, and a young man in a striped shirt stands at left. A painted backdrop of trees is visible at upper right. The seated figure appears to be a candidate for Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, the ornate saffron-orange garment and the flower garland.
