A photograph of a satsang hall with a dark maroon curtain and gold trim behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold earrings, an orange-saffron shawl and a thick gold bead necklace with rudraksha-style brown beads stands at right, extending his arm toward a smiling young person in white. Several men and a woman in light shirts and white clothes stand in the foreground with palms pressed together in greeting. A gold-trimmed ceremonial setting with a golden seat or throne sits in the background. The man is a probable Swamiji candidate based on the long hair, saffron shawl and ornate gold necklace cues.
