A seated figure on a carved wooden throne with a high back and curved armrests wears an orange-saffron garment with a yellow border and a beaded necklace of gold and rudraksha-like beads, his bare legs crossed on the seat. Facing him, a young woman with pink-streaked hair and a white top holds a microphone and speaks to the seated figure. Around them, rows of devotees in white clothes and orange-red shawls sit on the floor and in chairs, many with hands folded or looking on. Behind them a wooden door and a red sign reading No Video, No Photo, No Mobile, No Audio Recording are visible. The gathering appears to be a question-and-answer satsang inside a hall. The seated figure matches appearance cues for a person, seated on a peetha throne with a saffron garment and beaded mala.

A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a gold-and-orange beaded garland sits on a large brown leather throne-style chair in a hall, gesturing with his hands while a woman in a white top and red-orange shawl holds a microphone nearby. Around him a large audience sits on the floor in white clothes and red-orange shawls, many with long braids, facing him. Some people stand at the back in white with orange shawls. Wall signs read No Smoking, No Videography, No Photography and No Mobile Camera. A candidate with long swept-back hair and saffron robes fits the Swamiji description on the throne, though the appearance is not fully certain, so this is a probable identification from visible cues. Several dozen people are visible.2015-07-16July 16 20152015-07-16A photograph of a question-and-answer session in a hall with cream walls and framed pictures.
