Indoor satsang hall photograph. A man with long dark swept-back hair wears a red saffron-style shawl over the shoulder, rudraksha mala beads, a gold chain, a red tilak, and a beaded bracelet on the arm. He smiles while holding out his hand toward a man in a white shirt and glasses who bends forward to receive something from a silver tray. Several men stand nearby: one in a pink shirt on the left, one in a light blue shirt, and a shaved-headed man in white dhoti-style clothing with a sacred marking on the right, who holds a tray. Traditional bunting with yellow tassels hangs at the top of the frame and a dark blue curtain stands behind.
