Photograph of a seated figure on a golden throne-like seat mounted on a gilded bull (Nandi) with a tiger-skin covered base, at a large indoor satsang hall. The central figure wears a rust-orange turban with a gold ornament, an orange-brown draped garment, a leopard-print cloth at the waist, a heavy gold necklace, and bangles, and raises one hand while holding a tall gold trident (trishul) in the other. Swamiji (probable): the figure has long swept-back hair, a crown-style turban, ornate gold jewellery and ceremonial saffron-toned clothing, consistent with the page. Around him a large seated audience in white, orange and red clothing faces the stage, with a projection screen on the left showing a similar figure. Also visible: a white draped backdrop and hanging lanterns.
