A photograph of a large satsang hall with a man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne at centre, wearing an orange-red robe, with long dark hair and a full beard, smiling, one hand raised near a silver trident-topped staff. Rows of seated devotees fill the foreground, some in white and one in a yellow head covering. Above, colourful paper lanterns and tassels hang from the ceiling. Two large screens show a close-up of the same seated figure in red robes. Swamiji appearance is an appearance-based candidate on the central throne with long hair, orange-red robe and trident; treated as probable.
