A photograph of a satsang stage with an ornate gold throne upholstered in red cushions. A man with long dark swept-back hair, wearing an orange saffron robe with a maroon border and a long beaded rudraksha-style necklace, sits smiling on the throne, with one hand resting on the armrest. A man in a white striped shirt kneels before him, holding a red cloth and bowing toward him. To the left, a shaved-headed man in an orange robe stands with his palms pressed together beside a brass vessel. Behind them is a backdrop of a large banyan tree with aerial roots. The seated figure shows distinctive long hair, saffron robes and ceremonial beads, so this is a probable Swamiji candidate present in person.

A bald man in a cream shirt kneels in front of him, and a man in white kurta stands at the left edge, hand on the kneeling man's shoulder. Behind them a deity murti wrapped in a red-and-gold garland and white flower garlands sits before brass pots and oil lamps on a stone ledge, with gold pillars and red drapes behind.
