Photograph of a stage event with two seated saffron-robed religious leaders on ornate gold-brocade thrones with brown carved backs. The elderly man on the left wears an orange shawl, glasses and a white beard, and smiles with hands clasped. The seated figure on the right wears an orange turban and orange robes, a long rudraksha mala and ornate gold-toned ornaments; he is laughing and touching his long hair. A bearded attendant in orange stands between them with a hand on the seated figure's shoulder. Two attendants in turbans hold ceremonial staffs with blue-and-gold shield-topped finials at the rear. Probable Swamiji (probable) seated on the right, identified by long swept hair, orange turban, saffron robes and rudraksha mala.

Facing him, a person in an orange hooded top and orange shawl sits with their back to the camera. To the right, a person with hair in a bun wears a maroon-brown wrap, a long layered gold-and-silver beaded necklace and bangles, and gestures toward the throne. At left edge, a man in maroon clothing holds a camera. The page relates the scene to a Satsang welcome of visiting swamis.
