A seated bearded man in saffron-orange robes and an orange turban with a jewelled ornament sits on a tiger-skin-draped seat, raising one hand in a blessing gesture while holding a small object. He wears a heavy gold necklace and a rudraksha-style mala, with gold bangles on his wrists. Beside him stands a large gold bull statue (Nandi) and a tall gold trident. Dozens of people fill the foreground and background, many in saffron and white, some with cameras on tripods near the stage. A pale draped backdrop and a red banner reading 'Satyam' frame the scene. Probable Swamiji is seated centrally, identified by the saffron robes, turban, mala and gold ornaments. The crowd of seated and standing devotees suggests a large satsang or discourse hall.2016-12-07December 07 20162016-12-07A photograph of a seated man at a large indoor satsang hall, raising his right hand in blessing.
