Photograph of a seated figure in a large brown leather armchair on a raised stage, facing a crowd of seated audience members. The central figure wears a saffron-orange dhoti-style garment with gold trim, a thick rudraksha mala of brown beads, a gold pendant necklace, gold armbands and bangles, and has dark swept-back hair. The audience in the foreground and rows behind wear blindfolds or black eye coverings, with many in white, pink, orange and red clothing. A tall silver staff stands at the left edge. The setting is a dim hall with a dark wall. The central figure appears to be Swamiji (probable), identified by the saffron clothing, rudraksha mala, gold ornaments and swept-back hair while seated on a throne-like chair.
