Photograph of an indoor satsang setting with red draped curtains. A man with long swept-back hair, a white tilak on his forehead, a gold beaded mala and an orange-red robe sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with a cobra-hooded gold back, holding a folded white paper while a man in a white shirt and orange shawl kneels with palms joined. Beside the throne stands a silver ceremonial staff topped with a round finial, and a peacock-feather fan rests on a gold pot at left. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure: long swept-back hair, ceremonial gold necklace, saffron robe and throne posture. The kneeling devotee is one person.
