A photograph of a satsang inside a dark-walled hall. A seated man in a rust-brown turban and matching brown robe, wearing heavy gold necklaces, a red and yellow flower garland and gold bangles, sits on an ornate throne and smiles. Behind him hang red floral garlands, brass oil lamps and bells. Seated and standing devotees with palms pressed together face him, including a woman in a white sari and a man in a striped top. A cameraman in white kurta films at left. Only the seated man is identified by the page; his appearance cues include a turban, gold ornaments and garlands, so he is described as a person seated in a presiding role.
