A photograph inside a pillared hall of a satsang session. A figure with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe, sits on an ornate gold throne with a purple cushion, facing a group of about eight seated men in white shirts and dark trousers. Several men hold small fruits or objects in their hands. A red-and-white striped rug lies beneath the throne, a stack of books rests on a side table, and an air conditioner sits against the wall. A woman in a light sari sits at the far left edge of the room. The figure's appearance matches the saffron-robed, long-haired cues associated with a person, but the face is not clearly visible, so identity remains uncertain.
