Photograph of a satsang-style exchange in an ornate temple-like hall. A long-haired man in a rust-red shawl and dhoti, wearing a dark rudraksha mala and a gold chain, sits on a golden throne-like seat with palms pressed together, smiling. Two devotees kneel before him with hands in anjali: a woman in a white and red-bordered sari and a man in a white kurta with a red shawl. Behind them are gold garlands, green foliage and a gold throne backdrop. Swamiji (probable): the seated man shows long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, with a figure in a red garment on a throne, so the seated role is a probable Swamiji presence; the devotees are kneeling in darshan.
