A photograph of a temple-style outdoor hall where a seated figure in orange robes sits on a red and gold throne in front of a golden shrine with deity murtis, including a multi-armed deity with a crown and a companion figure with a garland. Many devotees in white dhoti and shirts sit cross-legged on the floor facing the throne, some with shaved heads, while a camera on a tripod records the scene. Red railings, orange curtains and a kalasha-style decor surround the area. A man in white stands at the far right near the steps. The setting appears to be a satsang or discourse with a seated teacher. The figure in orange on the throne has long dark hair and orange clothing, which matches the page's identification of Swamiji as.
