A photograph of a seated discourse in an ashram courtyard. A man with long dark hair and a short beard sits cross-legged on a gilded wooden throne with carved golden pillars and a hanging canopy, wearing an orange-red robe and holding a microphone. A small table with a water bottle sits in front of him. Seated on the floor before him are rows of devotees in orange and saffron clothing, some in yellow saris and blue salwar; a woman with long dreadlocked hair in a red top holds a white hand fan toward him. Bronze statues of standing figures and a metal ring sculpture decorate the red-walled background. The man on the throne is an appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, wearing an orange robe and seated in a position of honour, with distinctive long hair and beard cues.
