A small blue-walled room with framed deity pictures along the top edge and a shelf of flower-garlanded framed portraits on the left, with brass oil lamps and marigold garlands. A woman in a sleeveless orange garment with a gold necklace stands facing the wall with her back to the camera, beside a veena-style stringed instrument decorated with a yellow flower. Two women seated in the foreground, one with hair tied back and a gold bangle, the other with her hands in prayer, and a man in white with glasses at the right edge, hands pressed together in namaste. A green leaf rests on the floor. The figure in orange is a devotee and the scene reads as private prayer, not a visible Swamiji presence.
