A photograph of a satsang or blessing line in an ashram hall. A man in a maroon and orange turban, maroon and gold shawl and rudraksha-style beaded necklaces stands centre-right, extending his arm to touch the head of a man in a white kurta at left, who holds a small paper and fruit basket. Behind them, a man in glasses and a checked shirt, a woman in a red dupatta, a child and a young man in orange robes look on. A yellow basket of fruit sits lower left. Framed pictures and red drapes decorate the wall behind. The central figure is an appearance-based a person; a visible identity cue is the long-robed turban and beaded necklaces, but the face is not visible enough to confirm.
