Photograph of a satsang in a gilded hall. A man in an orange-saffron dhoti and shawl with an orange turban sits on an ornate gold throne with lion-carved arms and red cushions, holding a microphone stand before him and a rudraksha-style mala draped on his chest. Around him sit young students and adults: children in white kurtas with rudraksha malas and tilak on foreheads, and several women in orange and saffron saris sitting on a red carpet. A standing cooling fan and an air conditioner are visible, and a golden pillar with carved figures frames the right side. The orange-turbaned seated figure is a probable Swamiji by his saffron clothing, turban, mala and throne; the rest are devotees.
