A group of men in white shirts and dhotis stand with palms pressed together in namaste, one with a white head covering. Behind them, a gold and red ornate throne-like seat (peetha) stands in front of a deep red velvet curtain, with a few women in the background on the right. The scene resembles a satsang or darshan line. The man in orange appears to be Swamiji (probable), based on his long swept-back hair, saffron-orange robe, and ornate gold necklace, and is positioned as the central figure.2013-06-04A photograph of a satsang hall with a dark maroon curtain and gold trim behind. A man with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold earrings, an orange-saffron shawl and a thick gold bead necklace with rudraksha-style brown beads stands at right, extending his arm toward a smiling young person in white. Several men and a woman in light shirts and white clothes stand in the foreground with palms pressed together in greeting.

Beside them, a bald man in white with a vertical tilak on his forehead and a dark beaded mala watches. Behind, a gilded throne and colourful painted deity murtis stand against a pink-and-grey wall.

A central figure with long swept-back dark hair, a red bindi, gold hoop earrings, a gold necklace and armlets, and an orange-saffron shawl over the shoulders holds a sheet of paper while placing a hand on the head of a young man who bows with palms pressed together.
