Photo of two men in orange and white at an indoor satsang setting. On the left, a shaved-headed... wait, the left man has hair tied in a high bun, wearing an orange sleeveless top with an orange shawl draped over his shoulders and a rudraksha mala, smiling while looking down at a small white card held in his hand. On the right, a bearded man with long swept-back grey hair, a white kurta, an orange shawl and a blue lanyard-style mala raises both palms outward while the left man places his right hand on the bearded man's forehead in a blessing gesture. Audience heads are visible in the foreground and background, and a white framed light panel stands behind them.
