A figure seated on a red and gold throne wears a rust-orange turban, an orange garment, layered gold necklaces, a white and red floral garland and beaded bracelets; he turns toward a man in a white shirt and white dhoti with a rudraksha mala who gestures with his hands. A woman in an orange sari with a dark bead necklace sits nearby, and an older woman in white stands behind. Behind them a large crowd of seated devotees fills the hall under white fabric canopies, with white air coolers, speakers and a brass oil lamp on a stand beside the throne. Probable Swamiji (seated on the throne, with orange turban, orange clothing and layered gold necklaces) is the central figure in conversation.
