Indoor satsang event on a stage draped in black curtains. A seated man in a maroon-red robe and a cream turban, wearing a long rose-and-marigold garland, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a lion-form armrest and a floral canopy overhead, holding a white paper. A young boy in cream kurta and white dhoti kneels on the white stage cloth with palms pressed together before him, and scattered petals lie on the stage. A standing attendant in saffron-orange robes and gold neck ornament holds a rudraksha mala, and a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge. The seated man has long hair and is distinctively dressed; he is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate with his throne, garland and maroon robe, though identity is not certain from appearance alone.
