Photograph of a satsang with a long-haired man in a white dhoti-style garment and a white shawl seated on an ornate gold-and-red throne (peetha). He wears layered gold necklaces, rudraksha-style beads, and a gold armlet, and his long, swept-back dark hair is distinctive. He places his right hand on the head of a young man in white kurta who kneels before him, while the young man raises one hand. Behind them stand gold oil lamps (deepa), a golden kalasha-style pillar, garlands of marigolds and white flowers, and a deity murti with gold ornaments under a teal drape. A bald man in white with gold necklaces sits at the right edge, and several heads are visible in the foreground. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long hair, golden necklaces and white shawl, shown in a blessing gesture.
