A photograph of a satsang in a red-walled hall with many devotees seated on the floor facing a central figure. A person in red and gold robes with a red turban and a red-and-white garland sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne at the back centre; the throne has a patterned cloth and a red cushion. In front of the throne a standing person in white clothes and a red shawl gestures toward the seated devotees, and a kneeling person in white sits to the right beside a framed portrait with a red garland. Devotees wear white, saffron, red, pink, blue and purple saris and kurtas, many seated cross-legged on green mats. Yellow and orange checked curtains, marigold garlands and a camera on a tripod are visible. The seated figure on the throne appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the turban, red robes and garlanded throne, though the appearance is not certain.
