A seated man with eyes closed and a faint smile sits on a wooden chair before a microphone stand in a temple-style setting. He wears a leopard-print cloth wrap, a rust-red dhoti-like waist cloth, long rudraksha malas across his chest, a gold necklace and dangling earrings, with a white tripundra and red bindi on his forehead and a small white armband. Behind him stands a large black deity murti draped with red and yellow flower garlands and a jewelled necklace, with a silver backrest and silver ritual vessels in the foreground. Other garlanded deity figures and red cloth hang around the stone hall, and a brass vessel with offerings sits at the lower edge. The man's appearance with long swept-back hair, rudraksha malas and ornate adornments fits the Swamiji (probable) label, seated as a speaker during a session.
