Indoor satsang hall with a long-haired, bearded man in an orange shawl over a rust-brown robe seated cross-legged on an ornate silver throne with red cushions and a carved lion figure. A silver trident stands to the right. Around him, seated devotees in white clothes with orange-brown shawls and rudraksha malas listen attentively, some holding books or beads. A desk with a small electronic device and a standing fan are visible. A bald man in white sits in the foreground. Persons on the throne-side show a tilak mark on the forehead, consistent with a ritual teaching session. Swamiji (probable): the seated man on the throne has long swept-back hair, a saffron shawl and a rudraksha-style mala, which are the qualifying cues.
