A photograph of a satsang setting where a seated figure with long dark hair tied up, wearing an orange-brown draped robe and a brown rudraksha mala, places his right palm on the forehead of a bald man in a white shirt with an orange shawl, who stands with palms pressed together in namaste. Behind them, several people in white dhotis and orange or red sashes watch, including a smiling man with an orange lanyard at right. A red curtain hangs in the background, with a small wooden tray of offerings and a folded orange cloth on the cushioned seat in front. The seated figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues (long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala, saffron-orange robe), while the photo shows a blessing gesture.
