A photograph at a Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang event in an indoor hall. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron robe with gold-toned beaded ornaments and an orange garment with gold-trimmed edging, holds a hand raised in blessing toward a line of devotees. The probable Swamiji-type figure with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing is visible, with a bead necklace and bangles. To the right, a shaven-headed priest in a white dhoti and shawl with a red border holds a tray of flowers and offerings. Devotees on the left stand in a row with palms pressed together in namaskar, some in pastel and white shirts. A purple banner behind reads Bhagavad Gita Dhyana Satsang with a colorful image of a deity.
