A man seated cross-legged with palms pressed together in namaste on a tiger-print cloth over a low wooden seat, set within a lush garden staging of green plants, pink flowers and rounded boulders. He wears an orange-red garment, a rudraksha mala and a white-and-red forehead mark, with hair swept back. Behind him stands a large golden murti of Shiva and Parvati seated together on a pedestal, flanked by smaller golden figures, under a painted tree backdrop. Swamiji (probable) is seated centrally as the speaker of the satsang; the presence of a rudraksha mala, orange clothing and swept-back hair are the qualifying cues, and the tiger-print cloth and golden deity murti form the stage setting.

A man in saffron-orange robes with a white vertical forehead mark and a long rudraksha mala sits cross-legged on a wooden seat draped with a tiger-striped cloth, one hand raised in a gesture while the other rests on his knee.

A dark kamandalu-style vessel and a book sit beside him. The page indicates a satsang setting; a copyright line appears on the lower right of the image. The seated figure's appearance is consistent with the page's identification, but the presentation cues are limited to saffron robes and a rudraksha mala, so identity is uncertain.
