He stands with palms pressed together in anjali, smiling and looking upward. Behind him, a line of devotees in white and orange-saffron garments, many women wearing orange or yellow shawls, stand under a corrugated roof in an orange-walled hall. A red carpet runs along the right side, with metal railings and a tripod-mounted camera. On the wall is a red sign reading that more than 20,000 people in 147 countries are visiting, and a framed poster with deity imagery is on the back wall. Swamiji (probable) is the man at centre, identified by long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha mala.
