A photograph of a formal satsang-style event on a raised stage with a red draped backdrop. A seated figure in a rust-red turban, bare-chested with a long swept-back hair, rudraksha mala and gold bangles, leans forward to hand a printed booklet to a woman in a teal headscarf who kneels at the front. Behind them, a bald man in an orange-and-gold dhoti with a rudraksha mala stands beside a man in a white shirt, and a young man in white dhoti with a mala stands near a camera operator on a tripod. A brass oil lamp is visible at the right edge and a tall gold staff stands in the background. Several other people in dark and white clothes stand in the background, and a television screen at left shows video.
