A photograph of two men embracing in front of a gilded shrine with ornate silver and gold carvings. The man on the left is bare-chested with a saffron-coloured cloth, wears a tall dreadlocked headdress with a rudraksha band, a red-and-white garland and gold armbands, and has a vertical tilak on his forehead. The man on the right wears a dark grey t-shirt, a gold chain and a ring, and bends forward with his face against the other's shoulder. A leopard-print cushion sits at left, a microphone stand is visible, and a woman in orange stands at the right edge. The page identifies the event as a satsang, but the visible cues on the embraced man are only partly distinctive, so the identity is uncertain.
