A photograph of a satsang session on an ornate golden throne (peetha) with a cobra-hood canopy and carved lion supports, set against red drapes. A seated figure in a saffron-orange robe with long swept-back hair and a tilak on the forehead gestures with one hand toward a young boy in a white dhoti kneeling before him, who has a white sacred thread and white markings on his chest. On the left, a man with bare upper body, white dhoti and rudraksha mala sits at the throne's side holding a staff with a white cloth. On the right, a woman in a white sari with a rudraksha mala watches. The seated figure resembles Swamiji (probable) by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and throne seating.
