A photograph of an indoor hall with white plastered walls and a grey floor. A long-haired figure in an orange-saffron robe sits on a raised white-draped seat with a dark red cushion, with a microphone on a stand beside them, and gestures with an outstretched hand. Before them a man in white dhoti and shirt with a lanyard kneels and prostrates flat on a blue mat. Other men in white shirts and dhotis stand around the room, and two seated figures in orange robes sit on mats at the left. Swamiji (probable): the seated figure in saffron with long swept-back hair, a saffron robe and a rudraksha-style lanyard is the candidate, and the seat and microphone show a central speaking role.
