A photograph of a seated bearded man with long dark hair swept back, wearing an orange-red saffron shawl over a bare upper body, with tripundra markings on his forehead. He sits on a chair beside a golden bull statue (Nandi) draped in a red cloth, and a golden trident leans at the left edge. A white pedestal fan and water bottle sit in front of him. Behind him a large crowd of seated devotees, many women in saffron, pink, yellow and green saris, fills a hall with red pillars and hanging decorations, and large screens on either side show a pink-and-blue graphic. A bearded man in white and gold attire sits in the lower right foreground. The man in the chair has distinctive long swept-back hair and saffron clothing, consistent with a probable Swamiji presence.
