A photograph of a satsang-style session indoors. A man with long dark hair, a white tilak on his forehead, orange-brown robes with a yellow inner garment, and a long orange-beaded mala sits on a dark red upholstered chair, smiling as he places his right hand on the forehead of a younger man. The younger man, with short brown hair, wears a white shirt, a grey-purple shawl and a wristwatch, and holds his right palm up in a gesture of acceptance. Behind them are a red curtain, a white floor-standing air conditioner and a small fan. A small orange cloth lies on the chair arm.

A long-haired man in an orange-saffron garment with a yellow inner wrap and a long orange-beaded rudraksha mala sits on a deep red velvet seat, lifting his right hand to touch the forehead of a young man with short brown hair. The young man has his eyes closed and his palm raised in a gesture of reverence, wearing a white dhoti-style garment, a grey-purple shawl, a wristwatch and a red and white thread. Behind them are a red velvet curtain, a white floor-standing air conditioner and a pale wall. The long-haired seated man appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on the long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala; the touch on the forehead suggests a blessing being given.
