A photograph of a Guru Purnima satsang in a gold-decorated temple hall. A seated figure at the centre wears an orange-red turban, a red robe, a rudraksha mala and a ceremonial garland, and raises his hand in a teaching gesture from a gold throne framed by a large garland of yellow, red and green flowers. Golden lion sculptures and gilded deity figures flank the dais, and a trident stands at the right. Several seated devotees in white dhotis and white saris, one woman in a yellow blouse, face the dais with their backs to the camera, and an oil lamp is visible at right. The page identifies the figure as Swamiji (probable) on the basis of the turban, robe, mala and garland.
