A photograph of a satsang hall where a man with long swept-back dark hair, a gold rudraksha-style necklace, and a bare upper body wrapped in an orange-saffron cloth is seated in a brown leather chair, extending his right hand to touch the head of a young boy in white dhoti-style clothing with an orange shawl. Swamiji (probable) is the seated man; the cues are long swept-back hair, a long ornate gold necklace and saffron draping. Beside him, a woman with hair in a bun and silver earrings sits in an orange-and-gold sari. A woman in an orange shawl with a bindi stands behind the boy. A table holds a water bottle and small packets, and a crowd of seated devotees in white and red-orange shawls fills the background.
