A photograph of a formal Satsang gathering in an indoor hall. A woman with a yellow and red flower garland and a sandalwood forehead mark sits at left with her palms joined in greeting. Facing her, a bearded man in an orange knit cap, orange robe and orange shawl stands and holds a folded white envelope in one hand, while a man in a dark jacket and orange shawl at right joins his palms. Behind them stand three men in saffron-toned robes with ash marks on their foreheads and rudraksha malas, one wearing blue-and-white lanyard-style beads. A golden ornamental figure is draped with a white cloth and an orange cloth sits on a table, beside a red banner and a wall lamp. Ritual and devotional etiquette is evident in the greeting.
