A central figure in an orange saffron robe with a white and red flower garland stands with palms pressed together in anjali, smiling. Beside him, a bearded sannyasi in orange robes stands with hands folded. Behind them, a row of seated devotees in white dhotis and shirts sit with hands folded in prayer. A standing man in a white shirt and dhoti holds a paper on the right, and tall painted kalasha-style pillars with decorative patterns rise along the walls. Wall posters and framed photographs are visible in the background. Swamiji (probable): the central figure has long swept-back hair, a rudraksha mala and a gold ceremonial necklace over orange clothing, and is greeting devotees in a satsang setting.
