Indoor ceremonial gathering on a raised stage. Seated centrally on an ornate gold throne with a canopy is a figure in saffron/orange robes with a garland and hands pressed in namaste; the appearance is consistent with the page's reference to Swamiji (probable), with long swept-back hair and saffron clothing as cues. Before the throne are silver bowls and offerings on a red cloth. Around the stage sit many devotees: men in white with saffron shawls on the left, and women and girls in saffron-bordered white on the right.
