Indoor satsang scene with a bare-chested man seated on a throne-like seat in front of a tall floral backdrop of yellow, orange, red and white marigold and rose garlands. He wears a dark red-brown cloth, layered rudraksha necklaces, gold ornaments and a flower garland with pink and white blossoms, and he smiles while extending his hand. A woman in an orange sari bows and offers flowers over a golden kalasha-like vessel with a lion-shaped finial. Other women in white and orange clothes, some wearing rudraksha malas, watch from the side. Two visible people in the foreground left are partially cut off. Total visible people is about five. The seated man has distinctive long swept-back hair, rudraksha and gold adornment, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in an in-person seating position.
