Photo of a satsang hall with two thrones framed by floral decoration. On the left, a figure with long dark hair wearing an orange-red dhoti, a rudraksha mala and a gold necklace sits on a flower-covered golden throne, arms resting on the armrests, smiling. On the right, a bearded man in a white kurta and an orange turban, wearing a green shawl and a red-and-white garland, sits on a gold throne with a microphone before him.
