A photograph of a stage event with a seated man in orange-saffron robes and a rudraksha mala on an ornate silver throne with an arched canopy, flanked by carved stone-style pillars, red curtain at left, and stage lights above. A dense crowd of devotees in the foreground raises smartphones and hands toward the stage; several wear white, orange and colourful clothes and some wear rudraksha malas. The seated figure has long swept-back hair and ornate ceremonial attire, a distinctive appearance cue for a person, seated in a satsang-style discourse setting.
