Indoor satsang scene. A seated figure on an ornate golden throne wears a rust-orange turban, rudraksha and gold-bead necklaces, a sweeping long-haired shawl, and red and white flower garlands, raising one hand in blessing toward a man in a dark grey suit with a gold tie who bows his head and holds a framed portrait. Behind them, a shaved-headed priest in orange garments and beaded necklace with a tilak looks on, and a seated younger man in white dhoti with rudraksha mala assists with a brass oil lamp and offerings. Several onlookers in white and dark shirts stand behind, a camera on a tripod stands among them, and dark red drapery and a star-lit backdrop complete the setting. Swamiji (probable) is the seated throned figure, identified by his orange turban, gold and rudraksha adornments and throne, with the blessing gesture.
