A photo of a satsang or meeting in a open-sided hall with a corrugated metal roof and strings of red and orange pennants. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes, with long dark hair and a red-and-pink garland, sits on a flower-decorated throne with a red backrest and a small golden figure at its base; this appearance matches the page's Swamiji cues (long hair, saffron clothing, garlands) and is treated as a probable candidate. Around him a crowd sits on the floor and stands behind, many in white and orange garments; a woman in white with curly hair stands at left facing the throne, and a man in an orange shawl stands nearby. Prominent figures include a standing man in a white shirt with an orange shawl and a seated woman in orange at centre.
