A photograph of an indoor satsang hall where a standing man in long dark-red-orange robes with a sash and a rudraksha mala stands before an ornate white throne with red cushions. Swamiji (probable) is the standing man: long swept-back dark hair, saffron-orange robes, ornate gold-toned armband and rudraksha mala, with a red-orange shawl and a red throne. Seated devotees in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis sit on the floor with palms joined in namaskar. Some wear orange head wraps, and a white-clad figure with a shaved head appears in the background. A brass oil lamp stand and a small table sit in front of the throne, with a large framed photograph of a figure in ornate red garb on the wall.
