A photograph of a stage event with a large backdrop reading "Life Bliss Program" and "Level I" in red letters. A man with long dark hair, wearing an orange robe and a beaded necklace, sits on an ornate gold throne with a red cushion; the figure appears to match the Swamiji (probable) appearance cues of long swept-back hair, saffron clothing and rudraksha-style beads, seated in a position of honour. Two devotees in white kneel before the throne; one man in a white shirt and another in a white kurta-style dress face the seated figure with hands raised in greeting or blessing. Gold lamps flank the throne, and fruit bowls sit on side tables. Several people in white and orange clothing sit on the stage edges, and camera tripods and monitors are in the foreground.
