A photograph of a large indoor hall with white drapes and red columns, where a seated bearded figure in an orange-red turban and orange-red robe with ornate gold necklaces and rudraksha malas raises one hand and holds a trident. A golden ceremonial vessel stands beside him. Rows of seated devotees fill the foreground and middle, many in white, saffron, blue and red saris and kurtas, with a few hands raised in prayer at lower right. Colourful paper lanterns hang from the ceiling and a screen displays imagery at the back. The figure is a probable Swamiji candidate by appearance cues (turban, orange robe, ornate necklaces, trident), seated on a raised seat.
