A photograph of a satsang on a raised stage with a dark navy curtain behind. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange-saffron cloth and a rudraksha mala, sits cross-legged on an ornate gold throne with red cushions, hands joined. Seated on an orange and purple mat in front of him are a shaved-headed man in white ritual cloth, several women in cream, white and orange saris, and two young men in white dhoti at left, one holding a microphone. Brass plates and a small bell lie on the mat. At far left stands a golden deity murti in orange and red garments with a garland. The seated throne figure is a probable Swamiji in an appearance-based sense, with long hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha cues.
