A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange saffron wrap over his shoulders and bare upper arm, walks slowly across a stage in front of a deep red velvet curtain. Behind him, seated devotees face the stage with their heads turned away, many with white cloth bands or headbands tied across their foreheads and hair. Several wear white garments, and one woman in a yellow-orange sari sits near the right. A white podium stands at the upper right edge of the stage. The scene is a hall gathering with a crowd seated on the floor.

Behind him, many participants sit on the floor with white blindfolds or eye bands tied over their eyes, several with hands folded in anjali, some in white and pastel saris. A few people stand at the back of the hall beside pale walls and doorways. The orange-robed man's distinctive long hair and saffron clothing are visible cues for the page-referenced Swamiji, so the label is probable. The scene suggests a satsang or meditation session with blindfolded participants.2010-08-21
