Photograph of a satsang-style gathering indoors. A tall man with long, swept-back dark hair in a red shawl over red dhoti-style clothing and a red top, with a gold bangle, reaches toward a seated group of devotees. Around him a woman in a yellow-green sari and a woman in a white shawl hold their hands together in a gesture of respect, and a young girl with a long plait in a floral skirt stands with her hands clasped. A man in white dhoti clothes stands at the right with an object in hand. Yellow and red-striped hanging decorations and a blurred yellow-clad figure appear in the background. The red-clad man has distinctive long hair and red clothing, so he is a probable Swamiji candidate; the scene is a group blessing or darshan.
