Indoor photo of a satsang-style gathering in a hall with green walls, red and yellow draped banners and a golden ornate altar in the background. A smiling man with long swept-back hair, a red bindi and a sandalwood-coloured saffron-orange robe wears a long layered garland of red flowers and gold beads and holds a folded paper in one hand while reaching out to a man in a white shirt. Around them devotees, a child in a green top, boys and men in casual clothes watch and reach forward, and a shaven-headed monk in orange with a rudraksha mala stands at the right edge.

In the foreground, a man in a saffron-orange sash over bare shoulders, with a long orange-red beaded mala around his neck and a gold-bordered orange wrap, stands at right with a white bandage on his forearm, extending his hand. His hair is swept back in a bun and he wears a red mark on his forehead and gold earrings. A man in a white shirt with an orange lanyard leans in and holds out a hand while a man in a white shirt and glasses applies a red mark to his palm. Several other people stand in the background, some in white and some in striped shirts, and a bright shrine decoration is visible at the far right. Whether the saffron-clad man is the Swamiji is an appearance-based judgment: the orange mala, saffron-gold wrap and swept-back hair are present, so this is a probable candidate.2013-09-28November 07 20102010-11-07A photograph of an indoor hall with white ceiling lights and red curtained windows.
