Night photograph of an indoor satsang event with bright stage lights glaring in the background. A man with long hair, wearing an orange turban and orange-saffron shawl with a gold-toned garland of beads, sits on a white-draped seat with a bowl of fruit and flowers beside him. He is turned toward a devotee in a green-and-yellow checked shirt who holds a small card and a white envelope. Two other men stand beside them, one in a white shirt kneeling and offering a white card, another in a red-patterned shirt with hands pressed together. Behind them a man in white stands near a microphone stand and a wooden podium. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure's orange turban, saffron shawl and gold-toned bead garland are the qualifying cues, shown receiving devotees' offerings.
