A large hall with cream walls, white curtains and orange and red drapes. A long-haired figure in orange robes sits on an orange-covered seat at right, with an orange shawl, gold necklace and a tray of bananas and fruit beside him. A bald man in white clothes and an orange shawl stands before him, holding a rolled white paper, while a crowd of men in white shirts, some with yellow scarves and name badges, gathers around. A man in a yellow shirt stands at center and a shaved-headed man in white at left. Floral garlands and a decorated seat appear at the back left. The seated figure's distinctive long hair, orange saffron robes and gold necklace are visible cues, so this is a probable Swamiji appearance in person.
