A photograph of a seated man on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, speaking at a satsang. He wears an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, multiple rudraksha malas and a gold necklace, gold armlets, and a white-and-red tilak on his forehead, with a lapel microphone clipped on. Beside him on the left, two golden deity statues stand on a pedestal: one wears an orange turban and white floral garland, the other a jeweled crown and garland, with one holding a yellow flower. A red curtain hangs behind, and a black staff with metal bells rests beside the throne. A tiger-skin-patterned cloth lies on the dais.
