A photograph of a satsang inside a temple-style hall with golden lion-carved seating and a golden figure on the left. A figure in an orange-and-red robe, with a red turban and long red-and-white floral garland, sits on a golden throne with raised hands, facing a seated crowd. Several women in white and red saris and a few men in white shirts sit with palms raised in devotion, some with braided hair. Behind them are elaborately dressed deity murtis adorned with flower garlands. The scene resembles a Guru Purnima satsang; the central figure is a person candidate by his orange robe, red turban and garlands seated on the throne, but the appearance is only partly clear.
