A photograph at an indoor satsang hall of a bare-chested man in a yellow turban, yellow shawl and rudraksha malas, holding the hands of an older man in a white short-sleeved shirt who stands with clasped hands and bends toward him. Behind them a purple curtain and a large screen show a smiling woman with long dark hair. Two men in white and striped shirts stand at left, and a camera operator is visible at the upper left. The yellow-turbaned figure has distinctive long swept-back hair, a yellow turban and layered beads, consistent with a person in the central role of receiving a devotee's pada-puja greeting.
