A photograph of a large hall during a seated session, with many people sitting on the floor in white clothes and red-and-white shawls. At centre, a bearded man with long swept-back hair wears a red-orange robe, a large gold-and-orange beaded garland, and an armband, seated before a red velvet and gilded throne-style chair. Probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long hair, ornate garland and saffron-orange robe, seated as the presiding figure. Around him, a seated man in white holds a small object at a wooden table, and devotees fill the floor and rows of blue chairs in the foreground. A trident stands at left, and a large screen at upper right shows a close-up of a bearded man in a red robe. Wall panels display framed photographs, and two standing fans are visible.
