A photograph of a ceremonial seated scene in a dark-walled room with a gold-and-leopard-print throne. A man seated on the ornate throne wears a gold crown and a maroon-red dhoti-style garment, with a long white and pink flower garland draped across his chest. He holds a silver ceremonial staff with a serpent-shaped top and a small silver rod. Beside him, two women kneel at a golden table with silver offering bowls and flower petals, while a third woman in a red blouse and beads sits behind them. Other ritual items visible include hanging brass bells and oil lamps, a tripod camera, and a pink flower arrangement on the table. The appearance-based label is a person, identified by the gold crown, the swept-back styling and the throne with gold and leopard-skin decor. The page excerpt describes a 2017 satsang, but nothing in the image itself names an event.

A man seated on an ornate gold throne draped with a leopard-print and tiger-striped cloth, wearing a gold crown, a pink and white flower garland, and a rust-red dhoti-style garment, with bare feet. He smiles toward a small group of women seated on the floor at left, one in a white sari with a rudraksha mala, another in white with gold jewelry. Silver plates hold flowers and offerings on a low golden table in the foreground, and a silver standing staff with a white cord stands beside the throne. Brass oil lamps and bells hang from the ceiling above, and a video camera on a tripod is at left. The setting is a dark room with string lights.
