A seated satsang in an ornate hall where a man on a gilded throne with a leopard-print cushion, wearing a golden crown, orange robe and long dark hair, addresses a group seated on striped mats. Around him devotees in orange and saffron garments, white dhotis and sarees sit cross-legged, several holding brass plates with flowers and offerings. A cameraman films from a tripod at the upper right, and a golden lion sculpture rests beside the throne. Red curtains and golden pillars frame the room. Swamiji (probable): the throned figure wears a crown, saffron robe and long swept-back hair, so he is marked as a probable in-person candidate.
