A seated man in an orange-saffron garment with a dark rudraksha mala draped over his shoulders and long dark hair swept back smiles toward a man in a white shirt with raised arms and a name badge. Behind them stands a deity murti draped in red, yellow and green garlands with gold ornaments and a blue-green cloth, in front of a red-and-gold backdrop. A pink cloth lies over the armrest of the orange-clad man's seat. The scene appears to be a satsang gathering. The seated man has distinctive long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues, so he is a probable Swamiji and is shown in person.
