A large crowd of devotees fills a bright hall, seen from behind, with many heads in the foreground. Above them on a raised golden seat, a bare-chested bearded man in a red and saffron wrap wears a turban and many beaded necklaces and holds a tall trident, with a ceremonial golden ornament nearby. A large round fan-like ceremonial fixture stands beside him. White drapes and red banners with orange tassels hang along the walls, and a large screen at upper right shows a crowd. Swamiji (probable) appears as the figure on the raised seat, identified by his turban, rudraksha-style beads and trident; the crowd includes people in white, orange and blue clothing.
