A photograph of a satsang setting in which a man in a red turban, wearing a rudraksha-style beaded necklace over an orange-and-gold saffron wrap, rests one hand on the forehead of a man in a white shirt who bows his head. The seated man in white is receiving a blessing and holds a saffron shawl printed with script. Behind them, a brown leather chair, a draped cream backdrop with purple patterned panels, and seated attendees in yellow and white are visible. Swamiji (probable) appears to be the turbaned figure, based on the red turban, beaded necklace and saffron clothing, and is performing the blessing.
