Photograph of a satsang scene in an ashram hall. A seated man on a red velvet throne with cushions wears an orange saffron wrap, a red-and-teal garland of flowers, gold necklaces and rudraksha beads, and a red tilak on his forehead; his long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial adornments match the Swamiji candidate profile, appearance-based only: Swamiji (probable), seated in the place of honour and speaking. Two men in white shirts sit close in front of him, one with a moustache and one seen from behind, listening attentively. A partially visible man in orange robes with rudraksha beads sits at the left edge. Behind the throne are flower arrangements in yellow and red and a draped orange and red backdrop with a golden pillar.
