A photograph of an indoor satsang hall with dark wood panelling and a wall of fixtures. A standing man with hair tied in a bun and gold earrings wears an orange-saffron shawl and multiple strands of beads and gold necklaces, plus gold armbands. He touches the head of a man in a white shirt who kneels and bows forward. Beside him a man in orange robes with a red tilak stands holding an open red box and papers. Behind them a crowd of devotees, many women in saris and some men in white shirts, watch with hands folded, and a small child stands at the lower left. Open books and papers rest on a table in the foreground. Swamiji (probable): the standing man in orange has long swept-back hair, gold and bead necklaces and a saffron shawl, and blesses the kneeling devotee.
