A photograph of a satsang setting where a man with long dark hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits on a red cushioned seat, wearing a leopard-print shawl over orange-yellow robes with ornate gold necklaces. He smiles while reaching toward a man in a white kurta who holds a silver tray with rudraksha malas, a small silver container and a folded white cloth. A second man with long hair and a beard in a white kurta stands at right, and several people in white and orange clothing sit behind. Fruit, a gold-toned vessel and flowers rest on a tray in the foreground, and a camera operator is visible at upper left. Probable Swamiji seated in the central role, identified by long swept-back hair, ornate gold necklaces and orange robes.
