A photograph of a satsang gathering in a bright green-walled hall with ceiling fans and red and gold draped backdrops. A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a white vibhuti mark on the forehead, a heavy gold necklace, gold bangles and an orange saffron robe with a gold-and-brown belt smiles while extending his right hand toward the crowd. Probable Swamiji, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron robe and ornate gold necklace. Around him, devotees press forward, a man bends his head toward the outstretched hand, and a child in a yellow striped shirt stands nearby. Other seated and standing attendees in saris and white shirts fill the background, with a harmonium visible at right.
