A photograph of a crowded satsang gathering. A man with swept-back dark hair, white vibhuti lines on his forehead and a red kumkum dot, wears an orange-saffron cloth over his shoulders, a white-and-red flower garland, and multiple gold ceremonial necklaces. He smiles while extending one arm upward, his hand touching the head of a devotee to bless him. Around him, devotees in white and cream clothes with white forehead markings press close; one younger man in a light checked shirt holds his palms together in namaste, and a child is visible at lower left. Yellow-painted wooden pillars with red and green patterns stand in the background. Swamiji is identified by appearance: the man in saffron with the long swept-back hair, gold necklaces and garland is a probable Swamiji (probable) giving blessings.
