A stage at a satsang with a backdrop of a temple-pillar and garden mural. A bald man in white dhoti with an orange shawl stands at left holding a silver tray of fruit. In the centre, a man with long dark hair, orange robe, gold chain and rudraksha-style beads smiles and raises his hand near a microphone; he matches the page's Swamiji cues, so he is a probable Swamiji. A woman in a white sari holds a framed photograph toward him. Behind them are golden thrones and deity murtis garlanded with marigolds and flower strings, with a decorative orange-and-gold canopy overhead. At right, an older man in a brown kurta and orange shawl sits in a red-cushioned chair with hands folded, and a small oil lamp appears at the lower right.
