A photograph of a seated group in white clothing at a satsang gathering. A man in the centre wears white dhoti and kurta, a white forehead mark and a rudraksha mala, and holds a corded microphone to his mouth with his eyes closed. Around him, young men and boys in white and rudraksha beads sit close, some smiling and listening. On the right, a young woman in white with a rudraksha mala holds a pair of colourful sticks. A man in a blue-and-white striped shirt and rudraksha beads sits behind them. The central man has no distinctive long hair, crown or saffron clothing, so the appearance is too uncertain to identify him as a person.
