A figure with long dark hair, wearing a rudraksha mala and a gold pendant necklace, sits in front of a backdrop of marigold and rose garlands with a red and purple floral arch. Several devotees in orange and white clothing kneel and bow before the seated figure, one devotee in an orange top at the right and a bald man in white at the left. The seated figure appears to match the Swamiji (probable) description, based on long hair, rudraksha mala and ceremonial gold necklace, and is shown as a depiction on a screen.2013-07-22December 12 20072007-12-12A large tented hall during a ceremony on a raised stage with a golden temple-style shrine decorated with marigold and flower garlands.

On the stage, a priest in white clothes performs ritual worship before a deity murti, and an attendant in white stands at the side.
