A photograph taken at night indoors of a seated figure in a large red leather throne-style chair, hands pressed together in anjali mudra. The figure wears a maroon-red wrap over a leopard-print garment, with long red-brown rudraksha-style beaded malas and a gold necklace, and has flowers in dark hair. The person in the chair is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: ornate red-brown beaded malas, reddish ceremonial wrap and flowers in swept-back hair, seated on a throne in a ritual setting. To the left, a woman in white sits cross-legged with eyes closed. Behind them, a seated audience and standing people in white and red-lanyard clothing fill the dim background, with a bald man wearing glasses in the lower left.
