A man with long dark hair and a white tripundra mark on his forehead sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with leopard-print cushions and a gold lion figure at its base. He wears a rust-red wrap over his shoulder, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace, with eyes closed in meditation. Gold bells hang from the canopy above, oil lamps and flower offerings sit on the platform, and two large painted deity statues in gold jewellery and red-and-green dhotis flank the throne. Swamiji (probable): long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, ceremonial gold necklace and a red-orange wrap identify the seated figure as the speaker presiding over the satsang; the appearance-based identification is probable rather than confirmed.
