Photograph of a satsang or puja in an indoor hall. A long-haired man in orange robes and a rudraksha mala sits on an ornate gold throne with carved gold backrest and red cushion, a probable Swamiji by his long swept-back hair, orange clothing and rudraksha mala cues. Before him, a shaved-headed monk in orange sits with his back to the camera beside a row of brass plates of flowers and offerings. Around them, about a dozen women in orange, white and yellow saris sit on the floor with palms pressed together in namaskar, some holding pink flowers. A wooden cabinet, electric fan, navy and maroon curtains and a small blue-and-white banner appear in the background.
