A photograph of a stage set inside a temple-style hall. On the right, a seated man in saffron-orange robes, with a saffron turban and rudraksha mala, sits on an ornate gold-and-red throne with tiger-skin cushioning, gesturing with his right hand. He appears to be the probable Swamiji, identified by the saffron-orange clothing, turban, and rudraksha mala cues, and is presented as a seated teacher. To the left, a golden vahana-style figure, a deity murti of a peacock-mounted form, is decorated with yellow and magenta marigold garlands. Behind it stands a painted-finish statue of a figure in orange dhoti holding a staff and a lotus. Brass oil lamps stand on the floor between them, and the blue-and-gold painted backdrop has a wooden door and pink-and-green pillars. No live people beyond the seated teacher are visible.
