A microphone stand is at right and a silver staff stands at left beside a small framed portrait on a silver table. The backdrop is a silver embossed panel with red curtains. A framed portrait beside him is a depiction.2017-10-16January 01 20192019-01-01A large crowd of devotees sits on the floor of a white-walled hall facing a raised altar, many with palms pressed together in prayer or raised hands.

A figure in an orange robe holds an object near a small fire or lamp, while another person in orange and cream stands beside the altar.

A kneeling man in white clothes with a red sash and rudraksha mala and a kneeling woman in orange sari with flowers in her hair attend the offering. Behind them, a shaven-headed attendant in orange and maroon robes with a rudraksha mala kneels. Two framed portraits hang on a dark wall: one of a smiling man in an orange turban, the other of a man in orange robes seated in meditation, with a wall air conditioner above. Brass bells and a hanging lamp are visible at upper right. The setting resembles a padapuja ritual. Swamiji appears as a probable candidate on the throne, identifiable by long hair, a gold necklace, saffron clothing and a garland.2013-07-19October 16 20172017-10-16A bare-chested man with long swept-back dark hair topped by a crescent moon ornament sits in front of an ornate gold throne-like backdrop against a dark starry sky.
