A photograph of a ceremonial satsang on a stage. A seated figure on an ornate gold-and-red throne is draped in a large garland of white, yellow, red and purple flowers and wears a pink dhoti and pink shawl with a rudraksha mala; the appearance cues are a long swept-back hair style and ceremonial adornment, consistent with the a person role of the seated central guru being honoured. A man in white kurta and dhoti bends forward to touch the feet or offer respect at a tray holding fruit and flowers. Another man in white stands at left, and a woman in a white sari with red blouse and gold necklace stands behind the tray. A blue curtain and a microphone stand frame the scene, with more floral garlands draped over the throne arms.
