A photograph of a satsang moment. A bare-chested man in a red-orange turban and red-orange cloth with a gold-toned embroidered shawl and beaded necklace sits on a brown leather throne and smiles while touching the forehead of a grey-haired Western man in white clothes and an orange printed scarf. The Western man stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, seated devotees in white and orange clothes watch, and a patterned purple-and-gold backdrop hangs on the wall. Whether the turbaned man is a person cannot be established from appearance here, so he is described by role only.
