A photograph of a satsang setting indoors with a white ceiling and recessed lights. In the foreground, a man in an orange turban, orange shawl and layered beaded necklaces stands on the right, raising his right hand to touch the forehead of a young man with light hair. Several devotees in white kurtas and light shirts stand with palms pressed together in anjali mudra, eyes closed or lowered. A bald man in glasses stands at the right edge, and a few people are visible in the background. The orange-turbaned man's clothing and cues are consistent with a distinctive ceremonial presentation, but his identity is uncertain from appearance.
