A photograph of a satsang hall where a bearded man with long dark hair, a rust-red turban and a rust-orange wrap sits in front of a golden trident and a golden bull statue, gesturing with one hand while holding a gold-tipped staff. He wears a leopard-print cloth at the waist, layered gold and rudraksha-style necklaces and bangles, and appears to be giving a discourse. Behind him a large screen shows a figure, and rows of seated devotees in white and orange clothing fill the foreground, with hanging orange and yellow lanterns and paper decorations overhead. Swamiji (probable): the seated speaker's long hair, turban, saffron-orange clothing and ornate necklaces are the cues used here.
