A photograph of a stage set for a satsang with a central golden throne flanked by two golden lion figures. A figure with long hair, wearing a red-orange shawl, rudraksha mala and ornate gold necklace, sits on the throne; the appearance cues are distinctive, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate seated as the speaker. Around the stage, rows of shaved-headed monks in saffron-orange robes sit on red cushions to the left, while a man in white and orange cloth sits in front and a seated group in white and orange garments sits to the right. Golden standing figures flank the throne, a garlanded deity murti stands at the right edge, and paper lanterns in yellow, red and purple hang from the ceiling above golden arches and maroon drapes.
