Photo of a seated satsang gathering on a carpeted floor. At left, a long-haired man with bare upper body wears a white and gold cloth, a gold bangle on his wrist, and holds a small red-wrapped gift box; his distinctive long hair and gold ornaments are a compatible cue for a person, seated and receiving the box. Beside him, a woman in white embroidered salwar kameez with a white dupatta smiles and clasps her hands.
