A photograph of a satsang-style gathering in an indoor hall with pale walls and a wall-mounted fan. A central figure sits on a raised red cushioned platform with a red throne-like backrest, wearing a rust-orange robe with a gold-trimmed cloth draped over the shoulder and a gold sash at the waist, smiling broadly. Around him, shaved-headed young monks in orange robes with white forehead markings and rudraksha malas sit on the floor, many smiling and clapping. In front, a man in a striped shirt and white dhoti sits with his hand near his face. On the right, women in red and maroon saris and shawls, some with white forehead marks, sit attentively, one standing in profile and gesturing toward the seated figure. A white ceiling fan stands beside the platform.
