A photo inside a large hall during a satsang-style initiation. A long-haired, bearded man with bare shoulders and a rudraksha mala draped across his chest sits on a gold-carved throne with a gold-and-orange cushion. He extends his hand to receive a small wooden box with gold trim from a woman in a black blouse, red skirt and beaded necklace, while a second woman in a pink-and-purple outfit reaches in beside her. Behind them, men in white dhotis, saffron and white shawls and rudraksha malas stand and watch, and a crowd fills the background under red pillars and banners.
