A photo from a satsang on a stage. A long-haired figure in a rust-orange robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne draped with a red-green-yellow flower garland, one hand extended in a gesture toward a man in white. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with a saffron-robed sannyasi, but cues are limited, so identity is uncertain. A man in a white kurta with an orange lanyard stands bowing with palms joined in anjali, and a woman in white with an orange lanyard smiles beside him. A shaved-headed monk in orange sits near the throne. On the left, a camera operator stands at the edge of the frame. Behind the stage, a colourful painted deity mural with a crowned figure is visible.
