A photograph of a satsang setting with a red draped backdrop. A man in a sannyasi's saffron-orange robe, bare-shouldered with a rudraksha mala and a white vibhuti line on his forehead, sits on a dark cushion and holds a clear crystal object and a folded paper. Across from him, a young man in a black t-shirt with curly hair holds his palm to his face in a respectful gesture. Other seated people in white clothes are blurred behind them. The robed figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and saffron clothing, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) candidate seated in a teaching role.

Behind them, a seated figure in orange robes with a flower garland and a raised hand is a statue on a golden throne with a red backrest.

A seated man in a white shirt with a black mala watches behind them, and a red draped backdrop hangs behind the group. The seated figure's cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas, saffron shawl) are distinctive, and the page places Swamiji at this satsang, so he is marked as a probable identification.2012-07-06A seated man in saffron-orange robes with a long dark hair knot, white forehead markings, gold hoop earring and a long rudraksha mala smiles while raising his palm toward a man in a black t-shirt and gold bracelet, whose hands are pressed together in front of his face with eyes closed.

Another woman in a light sari with a red mark on her forehead is visible at the right edge. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance, cued by the long hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala, and is presented as giving instruction or a reading during a pada-puja-style exchange; the bare-chested man is a devotee in ritual white. Three people are visible.2011-12-11
