A satsang gathering in a decorated hall with a red and gold carpet on the floor. A man in saffron-orange robes with long swept-back hair sits on an ornate gold throne with carved lion-head arms, facing a microphone, with a gold low table in front of him. Around him sit many devotees in white and orange-saffron clothes, some wearing rudraksha malas and white forehead markings; several are seated cross-legged on striped mats while others look toward the speaker. Gold and red ornamental deity figures and garlands fill the background. The man on the throne shows distinctive long hair and saffron robes, consistent with a probable Swamiji (probable) identification on this page; the identity is an appearance-based label only.
