A photograph of a large hall with a white tented ceiling hung with colourful paper lanterns and orange tassels. A bearded man in an orange-red dhoti and an ornate orange-red turban sits on a raised golden throne-like seat, holding a golden trident and wearing a long beaded necklace with gold ornaments. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure has a turban, saffron-red clothing, rudraksha-style beads and a ceremonial gold necklace, and sits at the centre of the stage. Around him, a dense crowd of devotees, many with their backs to the camera, fills the foreground, with some wearing red and orange garments and marigold garlands. White drapes and red curtains line the back of the hall, and a projection screen is visible at left.
