A photograph of a stage set up for a satsang, with a seated figure on an ornate gold throne with lion-shaped armrests and a red cushioned seat. The figure wears a red-orange shawl, a red-and-orange turban, a rudraksha-style mala necklace and gold bangles, and raises both hands in a blessing gesture. Red velvet drapes, white pillars, marigold and leaf garlands, and backdrops showing temple spires and ghats frame the stage, with a trishul leaning beside the throne and a blue carpet below. Swamiji (probable) is seated in the centre, with the cues being the orange clothing, turban, mala and ornate gold setting.
