Indoor satsang session in a hall with a gold-trimmed throne draped in marigold and multicolour flower garlands on the left. A man with long dark hair in white clothes and a gold necklace sits on the throne, raising his hands toward a shaved-headed young man in white who stands with palms raised. Seated on a white-sheeted floor in front are a man in white with his back to the camera and a row of young women in white and orange-red shawls, some wearing rudraksha malas. A small table with fruit and flowers stands beside the throne. Swamiji (probable) is the seated figure with long hair, identified only by compatible cues: long swept-back hair, gold necklace and ornate adornment.
