A photograph of a seated group of monastic disciples in saffron and orange robes and white dhotis facing a raised golden throne at the right. A figure seated on the throne wears green and saffron robes and is flanked by a golden trident and a multicoloured parasol. In the foreground a man in a dark jacket stands in profile at the left edge, and a bare-chested figure sits near a wall of framed black-and-white photographs. A large red curtain, a projection screen and ceiling fans complete the hall. The figure on the throne is not confidently identifiable from appearance, so the identity remains uncertain.
