A photo from a satsang hall shows a bare-chested figure in a rust-red shawl and rust-red turban with gold trim, wearing a red-and-white beaded necklace, extending his right arm to touch the forehead of a man in a white polo shirt and light trousers with a lanyard badge. The man's palms are raised in greeting. Behind them a woman in a white sari with a dark beaded necklace sits with her hands folded, and standing onlookers in white dhotis and white shirts watch. A cream air conditioner stands at left and red drapes hang behind. The figure in red has distinctive rust-red turban, bare chest and beaded necklace cues, consistent with the page's reference to a person, but the appearance is uncertain.
