A man in saffron-orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne during a satsang, with long hair swept back and a red bindi on his forehead. Behind him stands a gilded altar with deity murtis draped in colourful garlands, a kalasha-like golden shrine and a ceremonial staff on the right. Seated devotees on the floor in front, including women in yellow and red saris and a man in white, are holding small offering plates and listening. A pedestal before the throne holds a tray with fruit. Identification of the seated man is probable based on the saffron robes, rudraksha mala and long hair with throne setting, and the page attributes the event to Swamiji, so this is an in-person candidate.
