A large white hall with ceiling fans and framed portraits along the walls shows a crowd of devotees gathered for a satsang. In the left foreground a man in an orange turban and orange sleeveless robe sits on a white cushioned seat, facing the room with his hands raised near the crowd. Many people in white clothes and white ritual garments with blue-and-white lanyard necklaces stand and sit around him, some folding hands in greeting. Women in sarees and children are among the gathered devotees. The man in orange with a turban and saffron robe is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance, seated as the central speaker of the satsang.
