Indoor photo at a satsang event with a golden lion-head armrest on a red-cushioned throne. On the right, a seated figure in an orange-red turban, orange robe and layered pearl and bead necklaces holds a stack of white envelopes and passes one forward. Beside the throne a large portrait shows a figure in a red turban. In the centre, a man in an orange shawl with a pink turban bends forward while a bare-chested young man in a rudraksha mala assists him, and a woman in white with a rudraksha mala stands behind. A bald man in orange robes stands at left. The scene suggests a devotee offering envelopes before a seated presider; the seated figure is an appearance-based candidate only, so identity is uncertain.
