A standing man with long swept-back dark hair and a red-orange tilak stands on a gilded throne with lion-head armrests in a large auditorium. He wears a leopard-print cloth over an orange-red dhoti, a long rudraksha mala and multiple gold chains, and holds a silver trident. Hundreds of seated attendees fill the hall, many with hands pressed in anjali, some in orange and saffron clothing, and some wearing orange head wraps. The scene reads as a satsang or inner awakening session. Appearance-based cues are strong: the a person with long hair, rudraksha mala, gold necklaces and saffron-orange clothing. Several people are visible in the front rows, with a crowd of many more beyond.
