A photo from a satsang-style session in a richly decorated hall with gold and red drapery. A man in an orange-red turban with gold floral motifs, a gold necklace, and rudraksha bracelets and mala is smiling and pressing his hand to the forehead of a young man in a white T-shirt and blue headband, who has his eyes closed. The turbaned man holds a small white card in his other hand, and a silver staff with a bird finial stands between them. Behind them are a golden elephant-head ornament and a peacock-feather fan.
