A photograph of a temple-style stage decorated with gold and warm lights, showing a robed sannyasi in saffron and a red turban seated on a low platform before a standing microphone, with a white lion figure at his side. Behind him, a large golden throne-like seat holds two gold-coloured deity murti adorned with yellow and orange flower garlands. Two standing deity figures in ornate gold with crowns and garlands flank the scene on either side. At left, a person in an orange-red cloth stands near a golden lamp stand. In the foreground, many brass and silver plates hold fruits, betel leaves and offerings, and rows of brass oil lamps line the stage edge. Swamiji (probable): the seated sannyasi wears a red-orange turban, rudraksha mala and saffron robe, matching the page's description of a Karthigai Deepam satsang led by the teacher.
