A photograph of a satsang-style gathering indoors. A long-haired figure in a rust-orange garment and a red-orange rudraksha-style mala with yellow-green fruit beads sits on a red velvet seat, leaning forward and extending an arm toward a man in front. An orange cloth lies folded on the seat. Beside them a white-robed priest with a white forehead mark, brown rudraksha mala and gold-bordered white shawl stands watching. To the right a man in a striped shirt and a shaved-headed person in orange stand close. A woman in orange and other people in white and pink stand in the background, and a tray of wrapped sweets and gold-coloured offerings sits in the lower left foreground. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and distinctive orange mala and bead adornments, which is a person appearance cue, but the image shows no printed name.
