A photograph of a satsang scene with a long-haired man in an orange-and-gold garment and rudraksha malas standing at right, his hands raised to a vertical silver pole wrapped with a white rope. Beside him a man in a white t-shirt and orange shawl with rudraksha beads lifts his arms and smiles, while a man in a lilac shirt and orange shawl stands behind. A seated devotee in orange robes sits in the background before red drapes. Swamiji (probable): the long dark hair, saffron-and-gold robe and rudraksha malas on the figure at right are the distinguishing cues; he is raising his hands to the pole in the centre-right foreground.
