A seated audience fills a gold-toned hall while a man in a dark turban and rust-brown robe, with thick rudraksha malas and a gold pendant, walks forward smiling and holding his hands together near the front. Behind him, a bald man in saffron-orange robes with a rudraksha mala also walks through the aisle. Audience members sit with palms pressed together in namaste, some wearing lanyards, and a large portrait of a man in a dark head covering hangs on the back wall beside a golden figure and a tray of yellow flowers. Swamiji (probable) is the man in the dark turban and rust robe, based on the rudraksha malas, dark turban and ceremonial gold pendant; the event is a satsang with devotees in attendance.
