A photograph of a central stage set up for a satsang. A man with long dark wavy hair and a red tilak on his forehead sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, wearing orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala. A wooden staff leans against the throne's side. To the left, two life-size decorated statues in orange and red clothing with white garlands and ornate crowns stand on a red draped platform. Vases of orange flowers flank the throne, and small brass offering plates line the front carpet. The backdrop shows a large pink-lit mountain image on a blue curtain. A red chair sits at the right edge. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, matching the page's reference to Swamiji (probable).
