A photograph of a devotional gathering in a decorated hall. A seated figure in saffron-orange robes with long dark swept-back hair sits on a red cushioned seat beside a golden lion-shaped carving, with a garland of white flowers nearby. This figure is the appearance-based probable Swamiji candidate, identified by long hair, saffron clothing and seated position on a throne-like seat. He extends his right hand to touch the head of a woman in white traditional dress with a saffron shawl who bows before him. Around them, several devotees in white and saffron clothing stand or sit, including a woman in white with a long braid wearing a saffron shawl and another woman in white with a shawl. Behind them hangs patterned cloth and banners in red and gold.
