A photograph of a satsang discourse table with a deep red curtain behind it. A bald man in the centre stands with palms pressed together in namaste, smiling, wearing orange-red robes, a long rudraksha mala and a pendant, with white sacred ash stripes on his forehead and arms. Two seated monks in orange flank the table: one on the left with a white forehead mark and rudraksha mala, and one on the right, a woman in orange-yellow robes with a white forehead band and a rudraksha mala. Water bottles and name cards sit on the orange tablecloth, with a small green plant in front. The standing man's identity cannot be confirmed from appearance; he is described by role as a presenting teacher in ritual dress.
