A photograph of a satsang on a stage with a deep maroon curtain behind. On the right, a man with long swept-back dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl, a rudraksha mala and gold ornaments, sits on a golden throne with a small microphone at his ear. He leans forward and receives a small white box from a shaved-headed devotee in a saffron-orange robe and rudraksha mala, who stands and hands it across a red-draped table holding red apples and a notebook. Two more devotees stand at left, one in peach-coloured robes and one in pink-and-orange robes with an orange shawl, holding white folders and papers. The seated man has distinctive saffron clothing and long hair, matching visible cues for Swamiji (probable), seated in a role of receiving offerings.
