A photograph of a session in a large tent hung with tassel decorations. A man with long dark hair and a beard, wearing an orange-brown robe, sits on an ornate silver-and-red throne holding a microphone and smiling. Around him, participants in black athletic clothing stand with hands raised to their faces on striped rainbow mats, while a man in white robes and a seated attendant sit on the floor nearby. A red water bottle lies on the mat in front, and a standing figure in purple is visible in the background. The scene reflects a satsang or yoga session, and the appearance-based label for the seated man is probable Swamiji (throne, long hair, orange-brown robe, microphone).
