A photograph of a satsang in a temple-style hall. A man seated on an ornate silver throne with a leopard-print cushion wears saffron-orange robes, a crown-like golden headdress, a rudraksha-style mala and a flower garland, and raises his hand in blessing; a person candidate by these cues, though his face is not visible enough for certainty. Before him stand devotees in orange and white ritual clothes with bare or shaved heads and sacred marks, facing the throne from behind. A large backdrop shows a painted gopuram temple tower under a starry sky with a green mountain, and a golden umbrella canopy sits above the throne.
