A photograph of a satsang-style session indoors. A long-haired figure with a swept-back hairstyle and an orange-brown shawl draped over bare shoulders with a rudraksha-style orange bead necklace sits on a maroon cushioned seat, holding a folded white paper slip that he reads. Facing him, a man in a white t-shirt with an orange lanyard raises one hand and touches his cheek. Behind them a man with a white tilak on his forehead wears white ritual cloth and a sacred thread, and several people stand in the background near room air coolers. The appearance-based label is probable Swamiji, identified by the long swept-back hair, orange shawl and bead necklace, seated in a chair while a devotee presents a question slip.
