A photograph of a satsang in an ashram hall. A long-haired figure in orange robes with a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne, speaking to the group. Seated on the orange-carpeted floor in front are about a dozen devotees: a shaved-headed monk in orange, men in white dhotis with red borders, and women in white saris with yellow shawls. A foreign woman in orange clothing sits among them. A small brass plate with offerings sits by the throne, and incense smoke rises at the right. A backdrop shows a painted temple scene with a deity image. The throne-seated figure matches the Swamiji appearance cues: long swept-back hair, saffron robes and rudraksha mala, so this is a probable Swamiji in person.

A seated man in long swept-back dark hair, an orange robe and a dark rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne, with a gold-tiered side table holding flowers and a small lamp in front of him. A group of about ten devotees sits on a red-patterned floor mat around a silver tray of offerings, several holding lit oil lamps or flower garlands. Most women wear white saris with yellow or orange borders and orange shawls, while a few men are bald and wear white dhotis. A white ceiling fan, a curtain and a window are behind them, and a bright orange cloth drapes a stool in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the central figure on the throne based on his long hair, orange robe and mala.2010-10-29October 29 20102010-10-29October 29 20102010-10-29A satsang or puja gathering in a hall with a gold ornate throne on the left.
