Photograph from above of a seated audience in white chairs with red sashes facing a raised stage with gold and red drapery. On stage, a figure in a long red-brown robe with long hair stands with arms raised beside a red throne-like seat. Many audience members in white kurtas and saris, including a man in a white shirt in the foreground and a woman in a pink sari, have hands raised to their heads in a shared gesture. A blue-green garment is visible at left. Gold lamp stands and ceremonial banners decorate the stage. The figure in red-brown with long hair shows swept-back hair and a saffron-toned robe, a distinctive cue consistent with Swamiji (probable) appearing as a speaker on stage, so the depiction is in person.
