A standing figure with very long dark hair wrapped in a rust-red turban, wearing a leopard-print wrap, a gold necklace and gold armlets, faces away toward a large projection screen showing a crowd. Seated participants in orange, white and multicoloured clothing fill the hall, many wearing rudraksha malas and dark-rimmed face or eye paint. A white curtain and a wooden door frame the room. The standing figure is a probable Swamiji by appearance cues: long swept-back hair, turban, ornate gold jewellery and rudraksha-style beads, though presentation alone is not conclusive. Seated people number in the dozens.
