Photograph of a satsang with a seated figure on an ornate gilded throne draped in a garland of yellow, orange, red and white flowers. The figure wears a pink dhoti-style cloth and a heavy gold necklace, with long swept-back hair, and looks off to the side with hands resting on the lap. In front, a group sits on the floor with lit oil lamps and brass vessels; a bald man in white ritual clothes and several women in saris, including one in red and white, hold lamps or join palms in prayer. Other attendees in saffron and orange clothing sit at the edges. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace and pink ceremonial cloth on a throne, consistent with the page's description of a satsang discourse.
