A photograph of a large hall filled with a seated audience. In the foreground stands a man with long swept-back dark hair, bare-chested, wearing an orange and gold wrap, a red-orange shawl over his shoulder and a beaded rudraksha-style mala, one arm raised in a blessing gesture. Beside him a large ornate golden throne with a brown cushioned seat and carved lion-like arms is empty. Behind it, a ceremonial silver staff stands upright. The seated audience wears orange and saffron shawls and white clothing; a woman in pink sits near the throne with her hands joined. Wooden wall panels line the back of the hall.
